Having frequent arguments with partners, friends or relatives can increase the risk of death in middle-age, say Danish researchers.
Writing in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, they said men and those not in work were most vulnerable.
Dealing with worries and demands from close family was also linked to a higher mortality risk, the study said.
An individual's personality and ability to deal with stress is likely to play a role in the findings.
Although the research team, from the University of Copenhagen, calculated that constant arguing increased a man or woman's mortality risk by two or three times the normal rate, they could not fully explain the factors behind it.
