未婚和无父母的人的死亡率高于已婚和有父母的人。婚姻和父母状况对死亡率的影响通常归因于社会融合或社会支持的积极影响。然而，社会支持或社会融合与健康成果相联系的机制在很大程度上仍未得到探索。一种机制可能涉及健康行为;婚姻和养育子女的家庭关系可能提供外部调节，并促进影响健康的健康行为的自我调节。本研究采用全国性样本，探讨婚姻状况和养育状况与各种健康行为的关系。结果表明，婚姻和孩子在家里的存在对消极的健康行为有威慑作用。有人建议，在社会融合的理论框架内，家庭角色促进社会控制的健康行为，影响随后的死亡率。
Age-adjusted mortality rates are higher for the unmarried and nonparents than for the married and parents. The effects of marital and parental status on mortality are usually attributed to the positive effects of social integration or social support. The mechanisms by which social support or integration is linked to health outcomes, however, remain largely unexplored. One mechanism may involve health behaviors; the family relationshps of marriage and parenting may provide external regulation and facilitate self-regulation of health behaviours which can affect health. The present study employs a national sample to examine the relationshps of marital and parenting status to a variety of health behaviors. Results indicate that marriage and presence of children in the home have a deterrent effect on negative health behaviors. It is suggested, within the theoretical framework of social integration, that family roles promote social control of health behaviors which affect subsequent mortality.
