A lack of social interaction is linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia and more. Researchers are unpicking how the brain mediates these effects.
Or this field research is going beyond correlation…
"Over the past few years, scientists have begun to reveal the neural mechanisms that cause the human body to unravel when social needs go unmet. "
But the way in which these factors interact with one another makes it difficult to disentangle the effects of loneliness from the causes, cautions cognitive neuroscientist Livia Tomova at Cardiff University, UK. Do people’s brains start functioning differently when they become lonely, or do some people have differences in their brains that make them prone to loneliness? “We don’t really know which one is true,” she says.
Or people who are sick are less likely to socialize, which is a much less exciting finding.
Yeah, I dropped out of social life because of health issues preventing me from socializing.
Well, either that or loneliness causes tumors.
Thank you for this. It’s so easy to get the blame shifted to oneself.

It does not and they have not.
Great way to dismiss the research
