虽然有限的数据表明，婚姻破裂后的心理和身体健康风险存在显著的性别差异，但对男性的研究不如对女性的研究深入。在这项研究中，自我报告的数据和血液样本，从32个分居或离婚的男子和32 seciodemographically匹配的已婚男子。分居/离婚的男人更痛苦和孤独，并报告显着最近的疾病比已婚男性;前者也有显着较差的值的两个功能性免疫指标（抗体滴度两种疱疹病毒），而没有显着差异的定量指标（辅助细胞和抑制细胞的百分比和它们的比例）。在已婚男性中，较差的婚姻质量与更大的痛苦和对一种功能性免疫措施（EB病毒抗体）的反应较差以及较低的辅助/抑制比相关。在分居/离婚的受试者中，那些在过去一年内分居并开始分居的受试者的痛苦程度较低，健康状况较好，并且在一项功能性免疫测定（EBV抗体滴度）上的表现优于非启动者。这些数据进行了讨论的背景下，长期适应婚姻破裂的研究。
While limited data suggest significant gender differences in mental and physical health risks following marital disruption, men have not been studied as intensively as women. In this study, self-report data and blood samples were obtained from 32 separated or divorced men and 32 seciodemographically matched married men. Separated/divorced men were more distressed and lonelier, and reported significantly more recent illness than did married men; the former also had significantly poorer values on two functional indices of immunity (antibody titers to two herpesviruses), while not differing significantly on quantitative indices (percentages of helper and suppressor cells and their ratio). Among married men, poorer marital quality was associated with greater distress and a poorer response on one functional immunological measure, antibody to Epstein-Barr virus (eBV), as well as lower helper/suppressor ratios. Among separated/divorced subjects, those who had separated within the past year and who had initiated the separation were less distressed, reported better health, and had a better performance on one functional immunological assay (EBV antibody titers) than did noninitiators. These data are discussed in the context of research on longer-term adaptation to marital disruption.
