Weight Gain
Transcript:
Both men and women gained weight but when it came to race, black women had the most rapid weight gain, followed by white women and then black and white men. The weight gain was just a few pounds—but even a slightly higher BMI is associated with weight-related health issues.

Plus, married people have a regular dining partner, possibly leading to more meals. On the single side, those who are widowed or have gone through a divorce may lose weight due to stress.
