Loneliness experienced by a person can have an impact on his health condition. Now scientific research suggests long-term loneliness can be harmful to the body as well as cigarettes.
A scientific study found loneliness or social isolation in the long term can damage the body such as smoking or being a fan of alcohol (alcoholic).
While some previous studies have also found that people who have poor social networks will increase the risk of dementia (senility) and high blood pressure.
Researchers reveal the reasons of this condition because the gene in the body needed to fight the virus infection becomes less active in people who are lonely, so he risk of causing cancer or heart disease.
"Feeling lonely and unloved can make a person more difficult to sleep and accelerate the development of dementia," says psychologist John Cacioppo of Chicago, as quoted from Indiavision, Tuesday (08/02/2011).
In a study conducted by Cacioppo and colleagues, found that loneliness can increase levels of stress hormone cortisol and blood pressure, thereby pushing someone into the danger zone against heart attacks and strokes.
In a previous study found a surprising relationship between cell function in association with the pattern of someone who is experiencing chronic loneliness or never have any friends. This group has the activity of immune components, cells and dendritic plasmasitoid momosit much higher.
If the activity of both components is high, then the cause of overreaction when there is damage to tissue. As a result one would easily inflamed tissue if there is trouble or damage.
