摘要

Although marriage plays a central role in protecting individuals from morbidity, relying solely on the spouse for support and companionship may be a risk for older adults. That is, given that a spouse may become ill and unable to provide support, having confidants beyond the spouse may be crucial in maintaining health during later life. We tested the hypothesis that married older adults who have few non-spousal confidants would report poorer physical and mental health over time. Participants in this study (N=85, mean age = 75.5) were interviewed at two-time points separated by one year. On average, participants had 2.8 non-spousal confidants. Results showed that fewer non-spousal confidants were associated with poorer physical function one year later. Contrary to prediction, the number of non-spousal confidants was not related to change in depressive symptoms. Findings illustrate that having few confidants may place married older adults’ physical health at risk.
