Note: PMQ = positive marital quality; NMQ = negative marital quality; W1 = Wave 1; W2 = Wave 2. Standard errors in parentheses. All models control for age, race, education, income, diabetes status at W1, probability of death between W1 and W2, probability of remaining married in both waves, smoking, drinking, BMI, physical activity level, taking diabetes medications, and psychological distress.
