One thing the NIH studies consistently found is a “strong correlation between social interaction and health and well-being among older adults.” Moreover they found that social isolation may have significant adverse effects for older adults. They report that social relationships are strongly associated with biomarkers of health and that loneliness may have a physical as well as an emotional impact such as a higher risk for symptoms of depression.
