Do you think loneliness can kill people? The truth is there! And recently, experts are warning that loneliness and a lifestyle away from society are a problem, which can be life threatening. It is becoming a "disease", spreading at a faster rate than obesity.

Specifically, experts from Bringham Young University (USA) pointed out that more and more people in the United States live alone. The rate of marriage decreases, the number of children born is also low. More seriously, loneliness can increase our risk of premature death.

Loneliness has become a plague.

"Communicating and connecting with society is one of the basic needs of people, to ensure a spiritual well-being, and also to survive" - quoted Julianne Holt-Lunstad, the mind Brigham Young University's leading researcher.

"There is very clear evidence of social isolation and isolation that can reduce life expectancy, and indicators show that this is a factor to consider in terms of human health."

This evidence has been collected for decades. As in a 2010 study, Holt-Lunstad looked at data from 148 studies, over 300,000 candidates. In particular, the study considers the factors such as social relations, health status, medical records . thereby assessing the lonely status of the subjects.

As a result, people with more sustainable social relationships have more than 50% more likely to live longer than lonely people.

In another study - considering data from 70 studies between 1980 and 2014, Holt-Lunstad also found a link between mortality rates and people living separately and lonely. Accordingly, among the 3.4 million study participants, lonely people have a higher death rate of 26% - 32%

This proves that the loneliness leaves no good health consequences. According to the study, this factor increases the risk of mental and cardiovascular diseases.

According to Holt-Lunstad, the current trend shows that more and more people choose to live alone, and it takes place in many parts of the world. In addition, a large part belongs to the elderly class.

"The world population is aging, which means that the loneliness rate increases. In fact, many countries think we are facing a " lonely pandemic. " What will we have to do to counteract that " - quote Holt-Lunstad.
