scientific research on loneliness and its effects

Loneliness Research

The science on loneliness is extensive and alarming. Chronic loneliness increases the risk of early death by 26%, impairs immune function, disrupts sleep, and accelerates cognitive decline.

What actually helps.

The most consistent finding in connection research is that quality matters more than quantity. One real conversation — honest, unhurried, with someone who is genuinely present — does more than dozens of superficial interactions.
