Marital status, dipping and nocturnal blood pressure: results from the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension trial.
TLDR
Being married is independently associated with a greater likelihood of nocturnal dipping and with lower night-time SBP among individuals participating in a controlled dietary intervention; the association was particularly strong in married men.Abstract:
Objective:Blood pressure normally declines during the night (’dipping’); a blunted nocturnal decline is an important cardiovascular risk factor. Marriage may be associated with lower ambulatory blood pressure, although this may be confounded by socio-economic and dietary factors. We examined the assread more

TL;DR: Most studies showed better outcomes for married persons, and men who were single generally had the poorest results, while being married was associated with lower risk factors and better health status, even in the presence of many confounding effects.

Associations of marital status with diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality: A long term follow-up study.
TL;DR: It was found that the relationship between marital status and health outcomes varied by gender, and being never married was an important risk factor for hypertension and tended to be a significant risk factors for mortality in men, however, among women, being widowed was associated with a lower risk of T2D.

TL;DR: There is evidence consistent with both main effect and main effect models for social support, but each represents a different process through which social support may affect well-being.

Social relationships and health.
TL;DR: Experimental and quasi-experimental studies suggest that social isolation is a major risk factor for mortality from widely varying causes and the mechanisms through which social relationships affect health remain to be explored.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of dietary patterns on blood pressure were assessed in a clinical trial, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, where the subjects were fed a control diet that was low in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, with a fat content typical of the average diet in the United States.

Marriage and health: his and hers.
TL;DR: Evidence from 64 articles published in the past decade suggests that marital functioning is consequential for health; negative dimensions of marital functioning have indirect influences on health outcomes through depression and health habits, and direct influences on cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, neurosensory, and other physiological mechanisms.
