Summary: This study investigated the impact of non-spousal support on mortality risk among older adults, and found that never married individuals rely more on support from non-spousal sources. The disparity in mortality risk between never married and married individuals disappeared when non-spousal support was high. These findings suggest the importance of integrating never married older adults into a supportive social environment.

Household composition and marital status were independently associated with the risk of mortality but did not substantively change the association between hearing impairment and mortality.
