  • New research explores the connection between loneliness and ill health, shedding light on underlying mechanisms.
  • The study identifies 175 proteins linked to social isolation and 26 proteins related to reported loneliness.
  • Data from over 42,000 UK Biobank participants revealed that higher protein levels are associated with inflammation and cardiovascular issues.
  • Loneliness influenced five specific proteins, which explain some health risks including cardiovascular disease and mortality.
  • Experts suggest that while biological mechanisms exist, behaviors like stress and alcohol consumption may play a significant role in health impacts.
