PLoS Medicine, 7(7), e1000316.

Meta-analysis of 148 studies (308,849 participants) found a 50% increased likelihood of survival for those with stronger social relationships (OR = 1.50, 95% CI 1.42–1.59). The effect is comparable to quitting smoking.

Social isolation (OR = 1.29), loneliness (OR = 1.26), and living alone (OR = 1.32) each significantly increase mortality risk.
