A new study has claimed that being alone is directly linked to greater risk of heart attack and stroke than those who have healthy relationships.
A research on loneliness has been led by Nicole Valtorta at University of York in the UK. Nicole Valtorta and her team pointed out 23 extant studies including 181,000 healthy people. They found that loneliness is directly linked to a 32% greater risk of having a stroke and 29% increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It’s a sign of alarm if a person feels alone-ness, he is caught up in the throes of an emotional trauma and results into horrendous stroke and heart disease.
Talking about her research, Nicole stated, “Loneliness affects a person’s behavioural and lifestyle factors. Isolated or lonely people would be more likely not to be physically active, to smoke, to not go see their doctor, to be less likely to eat well and to have higher rates of obesity.” It’s not a very pleasant sign to see a person stored on loneliness and stroke is medically considered as an unhealthy state of mind, as it can cause death.
The matter is under research, Nicole and her team at University of York are studying to find out the strong evidence in order to see how loneliness is causing the most harm.
