Stroke and heart attack: increases due to loneliness and social isolation

Over there loneliness it can adversely affect brain and heart health. It can lead to an increased risk of: stroke and heart attack 30% in people who enjoy isolation from society. The researchers managed to prove this theory. Heart and brain problems are linked to disconnecting from the social world.

The factors that most influence social connections are quality of life, unsatisfactory family or work relationships, personal insecurities. The topics most at risk are the elderly, but also citizens who have not yet been fully integrated into society. In America, nearly a quarter of the over-65s are socially isolated. Even young people are not saved as it seems that most of them have fallen into social isolation after the Coronavirus. Also from mood disorders or sleeping problems.

Another factor is that thesocial abstinence pushes to one sedentary life. Thus, the risks of various types of conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, are increasing. Social isolation and loneliness can also manifest themselves in socially active subjects and not only in the poorly integrated.

Individuals can live relatively isolated and do not feel alone and conversely, people with many social contacts can still experience loneliness.
