Well this will be easy for me to avoid. Don't get married again, that way I won't get divorced the 2nd or 3rd time and increasing my stroke risk substantially. I hate these simplistic statements, divorce is not the direct cause, stress probably is which causes high blood pressure and that is directly related to stroke. Send these researchers back to school for remedial training. We deserve better knowledge than this.

For women who had ever been married, the risk was 24% elevated with
one divorce and 77% elevated with two or more divorces versus none in
competing-risks models.
For men, the multivariate-adjusted risk was only significant with two
or more divorces (hazard ratio 1.30 versus none, 95% CI 1.02-1.66).
