According to the Telegraph, Professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad, of the Department of Psychology at Brigham Young University in the US, said: 'The health organizations as well as the community have not yet widely acknowledged the harms of lack of communal relations. Assembly When connecting with a group of friends and feeling responsible to others, people will become more careful and know how to take better care of themselves. "

Holt-Lunstad and colleagues looked at data from 148 studies that measured the effects on people and monitored their health impact for more than 7 years. Since the quality of relationships is not disclosed, the 50% figure may still be low compared to the benefits provided by healthy relationships.

The results show that healthy social partners - with relatives, friends, neighbors or colleagues - can increase their survival rate by 50%. In contrast, self-contained life is harmful, equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Alcoholism and refusing to exercise are twice as bad as those with obesity.

Because the quality of the relationships is not disclosed, the research team believes that a 50% figure may still be low compared to the benefits provided by healthy relationships.

Professor Timothy Smith, said that all subjects - from the elderly, children, women and men - enjoy the benefits of emotional relationships. Modern facilities and technologies make many people think that a sincere friendship is not necessary. But according to actual Smith, that's not the case.

'Sincere relationships benefit all ages, including the elderly. We maintain relationships as if of course, like fish don't pay attention to water. However, this influence not only benefits spiritually but also directly affects health, " he said.
