Loneliness speeds up ageing and raises heart disease risk?
The social pain of loneliness produces changes in the body that mimic the aging process and increase the risk of heart disease, a new study has found. As people get older, their cardiovascular functions diminish - but loneliness appears to accelerate the process, explained researchers at Cornell. For the study researchers investigated 182 men - [...]
