摘要

Study objectives - (1) To assess the extent to which death of a spouse causes excess mortality by controlling for the effects of confounding and other sources of bias. Three possible sources of bias are considered: accidents common to spouses, common socioeconomic environment, and common lifestyles. (2) To assess the duration specific effects of death of a spouse on mortality. Design and setting - Prospective study of mortality in Finland among all 35-84 year old married Finnish men and women (1 580 000 people). Baseline socio-demographic measurement from the 1985 census records. Follow up by computerised record linkage to death certificate registers for the period 1986-91 (about 116 000 deaths, of which almost 10 000 among the bereaved) using personal identification codes. Results - (1) After controlling for confounding effects, excess mortality was 17% in men and 6% in women. (2) Excess mortality was higher for short durations than long durations of bereavement. (3) Excess mortality after bereavement was higher in men than women. Conclusions - Controlling for confounding does not seem to have a crucial modifying effect on the relationship between spousal bereavement and mortality. It seems that death of a spouse has a causal effect on mortality. However, although spousal bereavement is a major stressful life event, this causal effect seems to be relatively small and short lived.
