An unhappy marriage predisposes women to metabolic syndrome, a combination of medical disorders that increase the risk of developing obesity, diabetes, heart disease and stroke, according to a study by University of Utah psychologists. Apparently, when women are stressed, they are prone to an increase in blood pressure, an unhealthy lipid panel, insulin resistance and fat distributed around the middle.
