据英国《新科学家》周刊报道,孤独对心脏有害,会使接近退休年龄的人血压升高,它所起到的负面作用与吸烟和长期伏案工作一样大。长期的社会孤独感会导致一个人65岁时收缩压达到150毫米汞柱以上,达到了医学上规定的高血压水平。这项研究还显示,造成血压升高的“孤独因素”独立于其他一些因素——包括吸烟、饮酒、社会经济状况和总体身体状况等。
According to a report in the UK’s New Scientist Weekly, loneliness is harmful to the heart, raising the blood pressure of people close to their retirement age by as much as the negative effects of smoking and long-term desk work. Long-term social isolation can lead to a person achieving systolic blood pressure above 150 mm Hg at 65 years of age, reaching the medically prescribed level of hypertension. The study also shows that the “loneliness factor” that causes high blood pressure is independent of other factors - including smoking, drinking, socioeconomic status, and overall physical condition.
