According to this MarketWatch article, loneliness is just as dangerous as obesity.
Mentioned in the article:
- Over 42 million Americans over the age of 45 suffer from chronic loneliness (AARP)
- 1/4 of population lives alone and more than half are unmarried (U.S. Census Bureau)
- Lonely people less likely to have close relationships, manage daily stress, maintain their health or sleep well
- Experience greater anxiety
- Older people may face more loneliness due to loss of family, friends, or a job
The antidote to loneliness is activity.
