Investigating the Variables Associated with Having a Functional Limitation Among Adults with Long COVID: A Cross-Sectional Database Study Using the United States Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (2026) · Diseases · doi
It is plausible that the mental health advantages experienced by married individuals could be protective for or reduce the perception of functional limitations, but further research is needed. Although marital status has not been reported specifically as an association with functional limitations in long COVID, there is some evidence that depressive symptoms and memory impairment are more common in people without spouses than those living with spouses after COVID [19].

Gender, Marital Status, and Mental Health: A Test of the Sex Role Hypothesis in India (2016) · Journal of Family Issues · cited 15× · doi
Marital status is shown to be associated with mental health differently for men and women in India (sex role hypothesis), yet none of these studies examines whether the protective or harmful effects of marriage vary by type of marital arrangement (joint family, nuclear family, unitary household) or by presence of domestic violence, limiting understanding of which marital contexts pose greatest risk.
