A new study published Monday found that older adults who reported chronic loneliness had a higher risk of stroke than those who did not report being lonely.
Middle-age and older adults with long-term loneliness are at higher risk of stroke than those who do not report being lonely, according to a new study published in the journal eClinicalMedicine on Monday.
"Especially when experienced chronically, our study suggests loneliness may play an important role in stroke incidence, which is already one of the leading causes of long-term disability and mortality worldwide," Soh continued. Results showed those who experienced chronic loneliness had a 56% higher risk of stroke than those who consistently reported not being lonely, independent of social isolation, depressive symptoms, body mass index, physical activity and other health conditions.
"It's also consistent with other research that shows that the detrimental effects seem to be most associated when it is persistent or chronic over time," she continued. "This study because it looked at loneliness at multiple times to determine whether there were changes, and whether it was consistent over time found that persistent levels were associated with the worst outcomes.
