Abstract

According to the literature, widowed persons show in comparison to married persons higher rates for mortality (especially due to cardiac diseases), for suicidality and for psychiatric morbidity. Potential sources of error appear to be unimportant. Younger widowed persons are at greater relative risk than older. Widowers react more immediately to the bereavement than widows.
