Extract

The object of this paper was to show the different death-rates which prevailed among the married and unmarried men and women in Scotland.

It was pointed out that the mortality among the unmarried men was, at all ages, very much higher than among the married; that, in fact, the mortality of the unmarried was thrice as high at the age 20 to 25 years; and only slowly approximated to that of the married man at 85 years of age.
