Daily Marital Interaction Quality and Carotid Artery Intima-Medial Thickness in Healthy Middle-Aged Adults

Abstract: Objective To examine the association between marital interaction quality during daily life and subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD). Studies have shown that marital status and quality of marriage are associated with cardiovascular health. However, little is known about the role of marital interaction quality during daily life in contributing to these effects. Methods The sample consisted of 281 healthy, employed middle-aged adults who were married or living with a partner in a marital-like relationship (… Show more

“…in AHAB-II). Although previous reports using the social interaction data from AHAB-II sample have measured mean negativity or mean positivity within interactions (Joseph et al, 2014), the relative frequency measure in the current report was adapted here in order to take into consideration temporal exposure as a potentially important dimension of psychosocial risk (Kamarck, 2012). We additionally examined the frequency of positive and negative interactions with close others (i.e.…”

Although the positive and negative items were inversely correlated, confirmatory factor analysis revealed that they are best treated as indicators of two distinct constructs, utilizing a two-factor model.…”
