Abstract
We describe a comparison of patterns of mortality by marital status in Hungary and in England and Wales. This demonstrates that increases in premature mortality in Hungary have been greatest among men who are widowed have never married and in particular are divorced with married men appearing to have been relatively protected. Among women the greatest increase has been among widows. We explore competing explanations for this difference and conclude that economic factors are likely to have been of major importance.
