Scientist says feeling lonely can increase the chances of having heart disease ,stroke and Cancer.lacking network of friends,and family is as dangerous as not exercising in youth and Diabetics in Old age.
Scientists from the University of North Carolina examined the association between relationships and healthiness across each life stage.
They determined that weak relationships in younger years can increase your risk of inflammation – at the same rate as lack of exercise.
Furthermore, hypertension in old age is more likely to occur as a result of loneliness than clinical risk factors, including diabetes.
Yet, people who have the support of loved ones are less likely to develop health conditions – and more likely to have a longer life expectancy.
Dr Kathleen Mullan Harris, of UNC and the Carolina Population Center, said: ‘Based on these findings, it should be as important to encourage adolescents and young adults to build broad social relationships and skills for interacting with others as it is to eat healthy and be physically active.’
