New Insights on the link between Social Connection and Mortality from UK Biobank Study
🌐 A groundbreaking prospective cohort analysis by Foster et al., (2023) has investigated the association between social connection and mortality. The researchers analysed 458,146 participants with full data from the UK Biobank cohort linked to mortality registers.
The results of the study provided evidence that individuals living alone face increased mortality risks, especially when lacking frequent friends/family visits or engagement in weekly group activities.
