A study done in the San Francisco Bay Area (Alameda County) over a nine year period showed that the people with the highest quality and quantity of social support and connections had the lowest rates of sickness and death.
An eight year follow-up with the same study group showed the same results - those who lived fairly isolated lives had 3x the mortality rate as those who had family and friends.
Test results show, healthy relationships with family and friends will improve your health and longevity.
