Loneliness is a unique predictor of age-related differences in systolic blood pressure
Article Abstract:
A population based sample of Caucasians, African Americans, and Latino Americans, 50-68 years of age from Cook County, Illinois was tested to examine how loneliness and co-occurring psychosocial factors were related to indices of cardiovascular and endocrine functioning. Although the results are limited by cross-sectional methods used, they are consistent with the hypothesis that cardiovascular disease contributes to increased morbidity and mortality among lonely individuals.
