Both NW and ND were married at T1, but had lost their partners by T2. Four physical health variables…

Reduced midlife physical functioning among never married and childless men: evidence from the 1946 British Birth Cohort Study

In this representative middle-aged population, unmarried and childless men faced greater risk of poor midlife physical function, even after adjustment for confounders, and findings suggest that for men, marriage and parenthood protect against functional decline in midlife.
Short-term functional health and well-being after marital separation: does initiator status make a difference?

Family Life Course Statuses and Transitions: Relationships with Health Limitations
TLDR
In this study, 25 years of data taken from the 1979 National Longitudinal Study of Youth are used to examine the relationship between family life course statuses and transitions and work-related health limitations and indicate that statuses are more important for determining health limitations than are transitions.
The cumulative influences of socioeconomic status on health outcomes in late adulthood: A latent growth curve analysis

Health consequences of marital-status change among the elderly: a comparison of cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses.
TLDR
It is suggested that change from married to unmarried status, rather than unmarried status per se, that leads to decline in perceived health, and support is found for the desirability-undesirability explanation of the health consequences of life changes.
The effects of marital dissolution and marital quality on health and health service use among women.
TLDR
Marital dissolution increases the risk for mental and physical health problems, some of which emerge only among women who had harmonious marriages, and marital harmony appears protective against physician visits.
Living alone, marital status, gender and health
TLDR
It is suggested that living alone was not generally associated with poor health and so could not account for the difference between the married and non-married, and that widowers living alone were more psychologically distressed than those living with an adult child, even when social integration was controlled.
Marital status, change in marital status, and mortality in middle-aged British men.
TLDR
The effects of marital status and change in marital status on mortality among middle-aged British men were examined in a prospective cohort study, the British Regional Heart Study and it is possible that the social support offered by marriage exerts a protective effect for some men.

TLDR
The results suggest three central conclusions regarding the association of marital status and marital transitions with self-assessed health: marital status differences in health appear to reflect the strains of marital dissolution more than they reflect any benefits of marriage.
