AI Article Synopsis

  • Poor quality romantic relationships might lead to health problems due to inflammation in the body.
  • Researchers used data from three large studies to see if there’s a connection between relationship issues and inflammation.
  • They found that problems in romantic relationships didn’t affect inflammation levels, and this was true for both guys and girls, no matter their income level.

Article Abstract

Poor quality romantic relationships increase risk for health problems; elevated systemic inflammation is one promising underlying mechanism. This registered report utilized data from 3 publicly available datasets with large sample sizes (Add Health, MIDUS, NSHAP) to test this possibility. An internal meta-analysis across all 3 studies determined that romantic relationship distress was unrelated to inflammation (assessed via C-Reactive Protein levels). In addition, this link was not moderated by gender, socioeconomic status (SES), or the combination of gender and SES.
