By and large, married people appear to have better health than their single peers. However, if the marriage ends, that healthy edge tends to disappear, with divorced and separated people reporting one of the highest rates of illness. Now, a new study published in the May issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family shows that co-habitating (同居的) couples also experience a decrease in health after splitting up. "Leaving a co-habitation, like a marriage, tends to have a harmful effect on health," said lead author Dr. Zheng Wu of the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. Wu and his co-author Randy Hart obtained their results from nationwide surveys on physical and mental health and relationship status, conducted by Statistics Canada at 2-year intervals starting in the 1990s.
There were 9,775 participants, aged 20 to 64 years when the surveys began. Looking at this data, the researchers found that both men and women tend to report a decrease in physical or mental health after ending either a co-habitation or a marriage. Researchers have proposed two theories to explain why married people report better health than non-married people. One supposes that healthier people are more likely to get married, while the other, called the "marriage protection hypothesis", suggests that married couples improve their health by providing each other with social and financial support, and by monitoring each other’s health behaviors. In an interview with Reuters Health, Wu said he tried to understand if either of these hypotheses might explain the health benefits of marriage and co-habitation by analyzing the results in different ways. The authors conclude that "protection effects" may explain much of why married or co-habitating couples experience health gains. The findings also suggest that living together and being married are similar in terms of health benefits gained. "Although there are some differences between marital and non-marital unions, our research suggests that in terms of health outcomes, the two are quite similar," they write. "The finding that co-habitation and marriage share similar health consequences lends acceptance to the notion that co-habitation has become a viable (可行的) form of family living." [br] Which of the following may Dr. Wu most probably agree with?
选项
A、Co-habitation should be accepted as a way of life.
B、One’s health depends on the marital status.
C、Divorce should be avoided for one’s health benefits.
D、Remaining single is the best way to keep healthy.
答案
A
解析
全文的最后一句提到,研究表明同居和婚姻有相似的健康功效,且由此促使这样一种观念被接受:一同居住已成为一种可行的家庭生活方式,A“一同居住的生活方式应被认可”与文意相符,为本题答案。
