"Loneliness is increasingly considered a major public health issue.Our findings further highlight why that is,lead author YeneeSoh,a research associate said in a press release. “Especially when experienced chronically(长期)，our'study suggests loneliness may play an important role in stroke incidence,which is already one of the leading causes of long-term dis- ability and mortality worldwide."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.The study followed nearly 9,000 stroke-free adults who were aged 50 or older for 10 to 12 years.

"These study findings are consistent with other research that has shown that loneliness has been linked to poorer health,said Dr.Julianne Holt-Lunstad,a professor who was not involved with the study. "It's also consistent with other research that shows that the harmful effects seem to be most associated when it is persistent or chronic over time,"she continued."Because this stud- y looked at loneliness at multiple times to determine whether there were changes,and wheth- er it was consistent over time,it found that persistent levels were associated with the worst outcomes.If we fail to address their feelings of loneliness,there could be serious health conse- quences.” 28.What's the main impact of loneliness on health according to the study 31ji0 A.Loneliness is only a concern for young adult ... ...
