People who are lonely or socially isolated have a dramatically increased risk of early death, according to a large new study.
June 20, 2023 –
The study also found numerous links between social isolation, loneliness, cancer, heart problems, and death. People with heart problems had a 28% increased risk of dying from any cause if they were socially isolated, and they had a 51% increased risk of dying from breast cancer. People with breast cancer had a 33% increased risk of dying due to a cancer-related cause if they were socially isolated.
The researchers defined social isolation as a lack of social contact with other people, such as having a small social network, infrequent social contacts, or living alone. Loneliness was defined as having a feeling of stress due to having fewer social relationships than desired. Social isolation is considered to have traits that are objective, such as a specific number of relationships, while loneliness has subjective traits measured by how people feel about their relationships.
