The Dangers of Social Isolation & LonelinessWith age, many natural meeting points diminish, one of the most important being your workplace. After all, most of your social interactions happen at work for a major part of your adult life, and when you retire, that's just ripped away from you. This is a common problem among older people. According to a study presented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 25% of all adults aged 65 and over are considered to be socially isolated.
Loneliness can cause depression and anxiety, but as the CDC points out, social isolation is also an overall health concern and can even have as big an effect on life expectancy as smoking and obesity. The CDC refers to recent studies that show that older people who were isolated had a 50% greater risk of developing dementia. Researchers also found that solitude increased the risk of strokes by 32%, and the risk of heart disease by 29%.
How to Improve Your Social LifeIn Senior Health Care Hub's guide, you'll get tips and ideas on how to reduce the time you spend alone. For example, it suggests joining a club or volunteering to get the chance to interact with people who have similar interests as you and create a sense of purpose. If you, like many seniors, have difficulties leaving your homes due to disabilities, the guide suggests online platforms that allow for sharing experiences and hardships remotely.
Health Benefits of BondingFurther, the guide gives insights into the chemical reactions triggered by physical touch and the sense of belonging, exemplifying the body's physical response to social interactions. It explains how positive social experiences can reduce stress by 50% and how the "happy hormone" oxytocin is released when hugging and touching.
