Loneliness impacts long-term health
A recent American study showed that loneliness and social isolation are associated with a loss of up to about six years of disease-free life, due to their impact on mental and physical health. The findings confirmed that loneliness results in a loss of approximately 3.7 years of psychological lifespan in women and 5.8 years in men, with a greater effect on mental health. The study also indicated that a healthy lifestyle helps reduce these losses in individuals at risk of isolation, but improving habits cannot replace the need for social connections and emotional support. The study does not establish a direct link between loneliness or isolation and shortened lifespan, but it highlights the importance of addressing these phenomena to improve overall health.
