杜兰大学研究人员在《自然通讯》期刊发表研究发现，孤独感和社会隔离与显著的健康寿命损失存在关联 1。该研究分析了277489名年龄在40至69岁之间的成年人数据，同时经历孤独感和社会隔离的参与者面临最严重的影响 1。
根据研究结果，男性在无抑郁症和焦虑症的健康寿命上损失约5.8年，而女性损失约3.7年 1。在身体疾病方面，女性损失2.4年无身体疾病的健康寿命，男性损失1.7年 1。研究负责人、杜兰大学公共卫生学院主任教授Lu Qi领导了这项研究 1。
研究表明，健康的生活方式能够在一定程度上减轻社会隔离对健康的影响，但对孤独感的影响不大 1。根据2023年的报告数据，美国约50%的成年人经历孤独感，几乎同样比例的人口经历社会隔离 1。
Researchers at Tulane University have published findings in Nature Communications demonstrating that loneliness and social isolation are associated with the loss of nearly six years of mental health-related quality life.1 The study analyzed data from 277,489 adults aged 40 to 69 years old.1
The research revealed significant gender differences in health impacts. Men experiencing both loneliness and social isolation lost approximately 5.8 years of life free from depression and anxiety, while women lost about 3.7 years of such healthy life.1 When examining physical health outcomes, women who experienced both conditions lost 2.4 years free from physical disease, whereas men lost 1.7 years.1 According to Lu Qi, director professor at Tulane's Celia Scott Weatherhead School of Public Health, who led the investigation, a healthy lifestyle can mitigate the effects of social isolation, though it has limited effectiveness in reducing the impact of loneliness.1
The findings underscore a growing public health concern, as a 2023 report indicated that approximately 50 percent of American adults experience loneliness, with nearly the same proportion experiencing social isolation.1
