Abstract Marriage is the central relationship for the majority of adults, and morbidity and mortality are reliably lower for the married than the unmarried. However, the simple presence of a spouse is not necessarily protective: a troubled marriage simultaneously provides a prime source of stress while limiting a partner's ability to seek support in other relationships. Marital disagreements that are marked by high rates of negative or punishing behaviors (e.g., hostility, sarcasm, withdrawal), hallmarks of marital distress, increase proinflammatory cytokine production; marital discord's notable consequences include amplified risk and poorer outcomes for inflammation-related disorders. In contrast to the negative or punishing behaviors that clearly promote marital distress, a growing literature suggests that positive marital interactions are central to satisfying relationships, and may benefit health. Capitalization behaviors (encouraging, supportive responses that follow disclosure of positive events) are among the most influential positive marital behaviors. Using three state-of-the-art molecular aging biomarkers associated with inflammation (telomere length, p16INK4a expression, and epigenetic age, the status of an individual's epigenetic clock), we address novel questions: Do unhappy marriages accelerate molecular aging? Can happy marriages slow molecular aging and extend both lifespan and health span (the length of time that a person is healthy—not just alive)? Drawing on behavioral, immunological, and molecular aging research, this study will assess concurrent and prospective relationships between key marital behaviors and molecular aging biomarkers. Accordingly, at the baseline visit, couples will be asked to resolve a disagreement, and they will also discuss positive personal events; these discussions will be behaviorally coded. Blood samples will provide data on molecular aging biomarkers in addition to couples' inflammatory responsiveness to the interactions. The couples' second visit, two years after the first, will assess changes in marital quality, inflammation, and the three molecular aging biomarkers. We have three specific aims: Aim 1: To characterize the concurrent and prospective relationships between couples' interactive behaviors and mood, inflammation, and aging biomarkers. Aim 2: To assess the relationships among inflammation and the molecular aging biomarkers. Aim 3: This exploratory aim addresses the relative contributions of gender to mood, inflammation, inflammatory responsiveness, and the aging biomarkers, as well as actor-partner effects on these outcomes. This proposal's novel methodology provides a way to test innovative and original hypotheses about the ways that marital behavior impacts lifespan and health span. The interactions among behavior, inflammation, and molecular aging represent an important new frontier for understanding how one's closest personal relationship can accelerate or slow aging. This project will help illuminate the mechanisms through which marriage influences our health and longevity -- for good or ill.

抽象的 婚姻是大多数成年人的核心关系，发病率和死亡率确实较低 然而，配偶的存在并不一定具有保护作用：a 陷入困境的婚姻既是压力的主要来源，又限制了伴侣寻求帮助的能力。 其他关系中的支持以消极或惩罚性的比例较高为特征的婚姻分歧。 行为（例如，敌意、讽刺、退缩）、婚姻困扰的标志、促炎症增加 细胞因子的产生；婚姻不和谐的显着后果包括风险增加和结果较差 与明显促进婚姻的消极或惩罚性行为相反。 越来越多的文献表明，积极的婚姻互动是令人满意的关系的核心， 并可能有益于健康（披露信息后的鼓励性、支持性反应）。 积极事件）是最有影响力的积极婚姻行为之一，使用三种最先进的技术。 与炎症相关的分子衰老生物标志物（端粒长度、p16INK4a 表达和表观遗传 年龄，个人表观遗传时钟的状态），我们解决了新的问题：婚姻不幸福吗？ 加速分子衰老？幸福的婚姻能否减缓分子衰老并延长寿命和健康？ 跨度（一个人健康的时间长度——不仅仅是活着）？ 分子衰老研究，这项研究将评估关键婚姻关系之间的并发和前瞻性关系 因此，在基线访视时，夫妇将被要求解决一个问题。 分歧，他们也会讨论积极的个人事件；这些讨论将是行为方面的； 编码的血液样本将提供除夫妇炎症之外的分子衰老生物标志物的数据。 第一次访问两年后，夫妇俩对互动的反应将评估变化。 婚姻质量、炎症和三个分子衰老生物标志物。 我们有三个具体目标： 目标 1：描述之间的并发关系和预期关系 夫妻的互动行为和情绪、炎症和衰老生物标志物。 目标 3：探索性目标 探讨性别对情绪、炎症、炎症反应性和炎症反应的相对影响 衰老的生物标志物，以及演员-伴侣对这些结果的影响。 该提案的新颖方法提供了一种测试有关创新和原创假设的方法 婚姻行为影响寿命和健康的方式 行为、炎症、 和分子衰老代表了理解一个人最亲密的个人如何 该项目将有助于阐明其机制。 婚姻影响我们的健康和寿命——无论好坏。
