How divorced parents can mess up their children's immune systems
In this frightening period, when half the world's population lives in lockdown, everyone is aware of how precious an effective immune system is. You don't have complete control over how well your immune system functions, American psychologists at Carnegie Mellon University discovered. If your parents divorced at a young age, and then stopped talking to each other, the effectiveness of your immune system is about halved.
Study
After the virus had been administered, the subjects quarantined for 5 days. Then the researchers determined which of them got a cold.
Before being infected, the subjects had told the researchers about the conditions of their childhood.
Results
Conclusion
"Given the wide prevalence of parental separation and divorce and limited intervention resources, these findings have important implications for better understanding who is at increased risk for deleterious health consequences following parental separation."
