People who are more connected to family, to friends, and to community, are happier and physically healthier than people who are less well connected. People who are more isolated than they want to be find their health declining sooner than people who feel connected to others. Lonely people also live shorter lives.
The people who were the most satisfied in their relationships at age 50 were the healthiest (mentally and physically) at age 80.
