Within-couple health behavior trajectories: The role of spousal support and strain.
Hannah Brazeau, Nathan A. Lewis
Abstract
Despite romantic partners reporting similar baseline health habits, the long-term trajectories of most health behaviors were not similar for romantic partners. However, spouses did exhibit similar occasion-to-occasion variability. Spousal support and relationship strain differentially impacted men and women's health behavior engagement.
