Socializing Increases Life Span
Numerous studies have shown that married men and sociable women live longer than single men and keep-to-themselves women.
For more than 30 years, the Duke Longitudinal Studies have observed three groups of people:men who connected with more friends, women who attended meetings of various kinds, and men and women who withdrew from social activities. People in the first two categories were happier and healthier than those in the last category.
Other studies have found that friendship brings more than just well-being; they show that the risk of death is lower for people with friends and spouses. For example, research done by the Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan showed that the death rate for more reclusive womenwas 1.5 to 2 times greater than for social women. Men in the same study who were involved with few friends and activities had a 2 to 3 times greater chance of dying.
Also,Researchers at the University of California at San Francisco have shown that unmarried men and women between the ages of 45 and 64 were twice as likely to die within a 10-year period as their married counterparts.
