To fill in this gap, we use data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) to investigate the relationship between marital histories over the life course and loneliness and social participation in late life among older adults aged 65 and over across the US and China, and the gender differences therein. We show that marital histories are associated with loneliness and social participation differently across countries. Off-time marital transition is associated with worse socio-emotional well-being than on-time transition, represented by the higher likelihood of loneliness among Chinese widowed prematurely. On-time transition, featured by mid-life divorce in the US, is otherwise linked to less loneliness. We find weak evidence of gendered differences in the US, such that premature widowhood is linked to higher participation in leisure activities than friend visits for US women but not men. Lifelong singlehood, otherwise, is associated with lower odds of attending leisure activities than friend visits for US men but not women. Our findings reveal the associations between marital histories, including the states and transitions, and the socio-emotional well-being of older adults from three interconnected theories: the life course paradigm, the normative transition theory and the \u2018gender-as-relational\u2019 theory. We also highlight the importance of studying holistic marital histories (rather than current marital status) and their socio-psychological consequences over the life course, with particular attention to non-normative marital transitions that standardised measures of marital status tend to overlook.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1332\/17579597y2025d000000056","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,22]],"date-time":"2025-08-22T22:15:27Z","timestamp":1755900927000},"page":"1-35","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The impact of marital histories on late-life loneliness and social participation: a US\u2013China comparison"],"prefix":"10.1332","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8071-422X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Leping","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7132-1843","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yang Claire","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"165","reference":[{"key":"CIT0002","series-title":"Handbook of Divorce and Relationship Dissolution","first-page":"435","article-title":"Communication processes that promote risk and resiliency in postdivorce families,","author":"Afifi, T.D.","year":"2006","unstructured":"Afifi, T.D. and Hamrick, K.
