definition: Marital status is closely linked to health, with married people being healthiest, then the never married and the widowed, and then with the poorest health, the divorced. The supposition is that the married are more socially integrated, have stronger social networks and higher self-esteem. [Source: The Sage Dictionary of Health and Society; Marital Status]
