The article explorex the dynamics of marital status mortality differentials in the Czech Republic from 1961 to 2010. It shows that mortality differences by marital status increased mainly between 1961 and 1991. Since 1991, the differentials have risen only slightly. Never-married people have lagged the most, with a life expectancy in 2010 that was 9.6 years lower among men and 7.7 years among women than among their married counterparts.
