Briefings

Research from the University of Granada indicates that marital breakups can cause long-term vulnerability in old age, particularly for those living alone with limited contact to children or social support. The study, published in the International Journal of Sociology, was led by Juan López Doblas and María del Pilar Díaz Conde.

Key points

• A study by Juan López Doblas and María del Pilar Díaz Conde at the University of Granada found that marital breakups can lead to long-term vulnerability in old age, especially for individuals living alone with little contact to children or insufficient social support.
• The findings were published in the International Journal of Sociology, with the research conducted between 2026-10-20 and 2026-10-20.

Context

Marital breakups can have consequences that extend beyond the immediate end of cohabitation, potentially becoming a significant source of vulnerability as people reach old age.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to a single study published in the International Journal of Sociology. The study was conducted by Juan López Doblas and María del Pilar Díaz Conde at the University of Granada. No additional background or data is supplied.
