Loneliness as a Health Risk – Why It’s Worse Than Smoking 15 Cigarettes a Day. AI-Generated.
That sounds dramatic. But the data is not. Over the past decade, researchers have compiled overwhelming evidence that social isolation and loneliness are among the most dangerous public health threats of our time. In fact, a landmark meta‑analysis of 148 studies (covering over 300,000 participants) found that lonely individuals have a 26% increased risk of premature mortality – a figure comparable to obesity and, yes, heavier than smoking 15 cigarettes per day.
