A comprehensive study underscores the alarming link between social isolation, loneliness, and heightened mortality risks.
The meta-analysis, involving over two million participants, found a significant increase in all-cause mortality rates for socially isolated and lonely individuals.
Furthermore, these risks were exacerbated for individuals with pre-existing health conditions like cardiovascular disease or breast cancer.
The findings accentuate the importance of prioritizing social health to boost public well-being and reduce mortality risks.
