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.
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.Those who experienced situational loneliness -- a temporary loneliness due to a change in circumstances -- did not have an increased stroke risk, suggesting that the impact of loneliness on stroke risk occurs in the long term, according to the study.
Previous research has linked loneliness to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, but the new study is one of the first large-scale, long-term studies to examine the association between loneliness changes and stroke risk over time. Each group's stroke risk was analyzed in the context of their loneliness while controlling for other health and behavioral risk factors, including social isolation and depressive symptoms, which are closely related to -- but distinct from -- loneliness.
