showed a startling result: mortality rates for infants in institutional care was as high as 71%—without social contact,infants died. In 1997 Kawachi et al.[22] show strong relation between mortality and social capital,measured by trust levels and membership of community groups. For example, a 10% increase in trust would lead to a reduction in .06 deaths per thousand people [22]. This link has been repeatedly established (e.g., [5], [39]). Morerecently,Holt-Lunstad[18]declareasoberingresult:“ dataacross308,849individuals,followedforanaverageof7.5 years, indicate that individuals with adequate social relationships have a 50% greater likelihood of survival compared to those with poor or insufficientsocialrelationships.Themagnitude of this effect is comparable with quitting smoking and it exceeds many well-known risk factors for mortality (e.g., obesity, physical inactivity)”.
