Scientists at the University of Michigan have proven that married people have better heart surgery than their divorced or lonely peers.
It turns out that widowed, divorced or single people are 40% more likely to become disabled or die due to heart surgery. Married people who undergo such an operation survive without complications.
Scientists believe that this feature is the result of tangible psychological support for loved ones.
Psychologists explained that thoughts about a husband or wife help patients going to surgery to seek recovery. Lonely people lack such motivation. Scientists hope that the data will help identify patients at high risk of death or complications after heart surgery.
According to experts, social support is a powerful tool that promotes recovery after complex surgical procedures..
