Marital dissolution is associated with a range of negative physical and emotional health outcomes, including increased risk for early death. This entry begins by summarizing basic epidemiological findings on health-relevant outcomes of divorced and separated adults. We then consider the candidate physiological (e.g., cardiovascular and immunological systems), psychological (e.g., forgiveness, rumination, and self-distancing), and behavioral (e.g., sleep, self-care) mechanisms linking relationship dissolution with poor health. The entry concludes with suggestions for future directions and intervention development.
