最近将婚姻状况和健康联系起来的研究越来越多地关注婚姻轨迹，从生命过程的角度来审视这种关系。然而，在将婚姻轨迹的理论概念与其测量联系起来方面，研究进展缓慢。这项研究使用回顾和前瞻性数据来模拟婚姻顺序、时机、过渡和持续时间对身体健康的年龄依赖效应。结果表明，婚姻持续时间与男性和女性较低的发病率有关；然而，这种影响是时间依赖的，并取决于其他轨迹因素。对于女性来说，结婚的时机和离婚的累积过渡次数对健康也很重要。对于男性来说，离婚持续时间和丧偶转变在这一过程中扮演着不可或缺的角色。作者还发现，当考虑到婚姻转变的次数时，婚姻类型没有任何影响。
Recent studies linking marital status and health increasingly focus on marital trajectories to examine the relationship from a life course perspective. However, research has been slow to bridge the theoretical concept of a marital trajectory with its measurement. This study uses retrospective and prospective data to model the age-dependent effects of marital sequences, timing, transitions, and durations on physical health. Results indicate that marriage duration is associated with lower rates of disease for men and women; however, the effect is time dependent and contingent on other trajectory components. For females, marriage timing and the cumulative number of divorce transitions are also important for health. For males, divorce duration and widowhood transitions play an integral role in this process. The authors also find that marital typologies have no effect when the number of transitions is taken into account.
