DIVORCIO COMO DETERMINANTE SOCIAL: IMPLICACIONES PARA LA SALUD INTEGRAL Y ESTRATEGIAS DE PREVENCIÓN.

Abstract

El divorcio se presenta como un fenómeno social con importantes repercusiones en la salud física y mental, afectando a individuos de todas las edades. Diversos estudios han demostrado que las personas divorciadas presentan mayores tasas de mortalidad, depresión, enfermedades crónicas y abuso de sustancias en comparación con las que permanecen casadas. Esta revisión tiene como objetivo proporcionar un análisis exhaustivo de la literatura existente sobre el impacto del divorcio, explorando tanto sus efectos inmediatos como sus secuelas a largo plazo en diversas poblaciones, incluyendo niños, adolescentes y adultos. Para ello, se consultaron bases de datos reconocidas (PubMed, Scopus y Web of Science) utilizando palabras clave como “divorcio”, “salud mental”, “salud física”, “estado civil” y “envejecimiento”. Se incluyeron estudios empíricos, revisiones sistemáticas, meta-análisis y trabajos teóricos publicados en los últimos 25 años, y se aplicaron criterios de inclusión rigurosos. Los hallazgos revelan que el divorcio incrementa el riesgo de problemas emocionales, alteraciones en el desarrollo infantil, mayor incidencia de enfermedades cardiovasculares y deterioro cognitivo en la vejez, siendo factores moderadores la calidad del apego, el insomnio post-separación y la violencia doméstica. En conclusión, se destaca la necesidad de intervenciones multidisciplinarias y políticas públicas integrales para mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas afectadas por este fenómeno.

Divorce emerges as a social phenomenon with significant repercussions on both physical and mental health, affecting individuals across all age groups. Numerous studies have demonstrated that divorced individuals exhibit higher rates of mortality, depression, chronic diseases, and substance abuse compared to those who remain married. This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature on the impact of divorce, exploring both its immediate effects and long-term consequences on diverse populations, including children, adolescents, and adults. To achieve this, recognized databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) were searched using keywords such as “divorce,” “mental health,” “physical health,” “marital status,” and “aging.” Empirical studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and theoretical works published in the last 25 years were included, applying rigorous inclusion criteria. The findings reveal that divorce increases the risk of emotional problems, developmental disruptions in childhood, a higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases, and cognitive decline in later life. Moderating factors such as attachment quality, post-separation insomnia, and domestic violence further amplify these effects. In conclusion, the review underscores the need for multidisciplinary interventions and comprehensive public policies to improve the quality of life for those affected by divorce.
