Studies have shown that if you don't have too many friends or you don't keep in touch with your family when you get older, you have a higher risk of dying earlier. A survey was given to about 6,500 men and women above the age of 50 asking about loneliness levels from early 40s to 50s. The researchers established that loneliness has a huge affect on a person's health and wellbeing. Loneliness and social isolation is not the direct cause of death, but it does influence.
