The significance of this work lies in using social media as a barometer for mood. This is critical. Holt- Lunstadet al. [18] extort:“ physicians, health professionals,educators,and the public media take risk factors such as smoking, diet, and exercise seriously”—the data presented here make a compelling case for social relationship factor s to be added to that list. With such recognition,medical evaluations and screenings could routinely include variables of social well-being;medical care could recommend if not outright promote enhanced social connections; hospitals and clinics could involve patient support networks in implementing and monitoring treatment regimens and compliance, etc. Health care policies and public health initiatives could likewise benefit from explicitly accounting for social factors in efforts aimed at reducing mortality risk. Individuals do not exist in isolation; social factors influence individuals’health thoughcognitive,affective,andbehavioralpathways. We believe that the results in this paper are the first steps in thispledgingareaofmeasurablyaccountingforsocialfactors.
