Double blow. Betrayal not just leave "scars" on the heart, but also spoil the health of a partner

A new study shows that traitors not only leave partners with a broken heart, but also increase the risk of developing certain diseases. The news that a partner or man betrays is one of the most painful experiences that a person can suffer. But now scientists say that the pain of such experience goes far beyond emotional suffering, IFLSCIENCE writes. Betrayal in relationships is not uncommon. Previous studies have already shown that there are many reasons why people become incorrect.

Anyone who has ever experienced this experience knows how traumatic it can be and how difficult it is to move on. But now scientists have come to the conclusion that betrayal not only emotional wounds but also physical harm - results show that people who have experienced betrayal increase the risk of developing chronic diseases. Moreover, these health problems can continue even when people are in a new, positive relationship. In focus. Technology has appeared its Telegram channel.

Their work was aimed at studying the long -term consequences of infidelity for human health. The study used data from 2,579 adult Americans, taken from the study of "Middle Age Development in the United States" (Midus). All participants were cisgender, and the vast majority were heterosexual.

Scientists have compared two sets of data collected at intervals of about 9 years. It should be noted that the recipients answered the question of whether they once betrayed them, and also asked to talk about chronic diseases such as migraine, sleep disorders and lung problems. In addition, other demographic data, information about family and friends support were collected. The team analyzed the results and found that people who survived betrayal were more likely to report chronic health problems.

This connection was maintained even with other factors. According to Dr. O, the good news is that the effect of betrayal seems to be in the "small range". In simple words, there are effects, but they are extremely small. The results published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships also indicate that the presence of a strong network of friends or family is not capable of mitigating this effect of loss.

The authors of the study believe that emotional stress caused by betrayal probably has an indirect effect on human physical health. However, the team acknowledges that additional research is needed to better understand and study this relationship. It should be noted that other scientific research has already shown that relationship satisfaction can really affect human health. For example, married people have a lower risk of dementia.
