已婚者的死亡率低于未婚者，在这方面，婚姻似乎对男子比妇女更有利。社会整合和社会控制的理论模型的发展，以解释为什么会发生这种情况。从这个模型中，我假设婚姻可能对健康有益，因为许多配偶监测并试图控制配偶的健康行为。此外，这些社会控制努力的提供、接受和后果可能因男子和妇女而异。这些假设被认为是在1986年（N = 3617）和1989年（N = 2867）进行的全国小组调查的分析。结果表明：（1）婚姻与男性比女性接受更多的控制健康的努力有关，（2）那些试图控制他人健康的人更有可能是女性而不是男性，（3）已婚者中的社会控制和健康行为假设得到了一些支持，（4）从已婚状态转变为未婚状态与消极健康行为的增加有关，而从未婚状态转变为已婚状态对健康行为的影响似乎很小。一个理论上的解释是发展来解释这些婚姻状况的差异。
Mortality rates are lower for married individuals than they are for unmarried individuals, and marriage seems to be even more beneficial to men than women in this regard. A theoretical model of social integration and social control is developed to explain why this may occur. Drawing from this model, I hypothesize that marriage may be beneficial to health because many spouses monitor and attempt to control their spouse's health behaviors. Furthermore, the provision, receipt, and consequences of these social control efforts may vary for men and women. These hypotheses are considered with analysis of a national panel survey conducted in 1986 (N = 3617) and 1989 (N = 2867). Results show that: (1) marriage is associated with receipt of substantially more efforts to control health for men than women, (2) those who attempt to control the health of others are more likely to be female than male, (3) there is some support for the social control and health behavior hypothesis among the married, and (4) the transition from married to unmarried status is associated with an increase in negative health behavior while the transition from unmarried to married status seems to have little effect on health behavior. A theoretical explanation is developed to explain these marital status differences.
