If there was a poll on whether or not divorced American’s experienced stress during the divorce process, nearly all cases would say “yes”. No one goes into a marriage planning to get divorced, so you can imagine the emotions felt by couples when divorce becomes the only answer. Not only can a divorce affect you emotionally, but research has shown that it can also increase your chance of a heart attack, especially in women. If you live in Minnesota and are beginning the process of a divorce, team up with Kallemeyn & Kallemeyn, PLLC, a Minnesota law firm dedicated to helping keep your stress level low throughout this difficult time in your life.
The Experiment
A study spanning from 1992 all the way to 2010, examined over 15,000 adults across the country between the ages of 45 and 80 that were married or had been in the past. Nearly 33% of the individuals studied were divorced at some point in their life. During the study, published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, 8% of the individuals tested had a heart attack. The interesting fact found during this study was that a divorced woman had a 24% increased chance of having a heart attack. For the women that divorced twice during this span of research, they had a 77% increased chance of a heart attack. These probabilities were much higher than they were with men. Only men that divorced more than one time had a higher risk of heart attack, at a rate of 30%.
