–
A new
study
suggests
that
marriage
may
be
linked
to
a
lower
risk
of
cancer.

There’s
growing
research
that
finds
men
and
women
who
have
never
been
married
may
be
at
a
higher
risk.

The
study
finds
the
risk
for
women
in
that
group
is
83%
higher,
and
for
unmarried
men,
68%
higher.

However,
those
risks
depend
on
the
type
of
cancer
and
other
factors.

For
example,
women
who
have
never
given
birth
are
at
a
higher
risk
of
ovarian
cancers.

Focusing
on
older
adults,
the
study’s
lead
author
believes
the
marriage
health
benefit
accumulates
over
time.

The
full
study
has
now
been
published
in
the

Journal
of
Cancer
Research
Communications.
