Woman can put herself and family in heart diseases

Researchers found that men whose wives come home upset with work outside the home have an increased risk of developing heart disease. The study included 1,769 men and 1,913 women between ages 18 and 77. The researchers tracked the health of the participants for 10 years to determine if they developed heart disease or died.
"Married men were heavier, older, and had higher blood pressure and a less favorable lipid profile compared to unmarried men".

Two types of marital strain were found

Men who reported that their wives' work was disruptive to their home life because their wives came home upset with work were more than two times more likely to develop heart disease. Women who reported usually or always keeping their feelings to themselves when in conflict with their husbands, known as self-silencing, had more than four times the risk of dying from any cause compared to women who always show their feelings.
