People going through a divorce, are more likely to suffer health problems, including heart disease and cancer, says a new study has shown.

Divorce and widowhood are long-term commitment, with negative effects on the physical, which is only marginally improved if a person finds a new partner.

The stress and financial uncertainty of separation may continue to wreak havoc in our bodies even decades after specifically, research indicates.

Divorced people have 20 percent more to chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes or cancer, in relation to married persons, the study on 8652 people aged between 51 and 61 years, carried conducted by Professor Linda Waite of the University of Chicago.

Besides a 23 percent higher in terms of mobility problems, such as trouble climbing stairs or walking short distances, even people who have divorced and remarried then still had a 12 percent more chronic problems , added to 19 percent more mobility problems.

“The divorced show a worse state of health in all dimensions, as well as widows,” said Waite.

Research carried out with Mary Elizabeth Hughes, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, also reaffirmed the results of recent studies that show the relative poor health of people who remain unmarried in late middle age.
