Association of social isolation and loneliness with all-cause and cause-specific mortality among individuals with type 2 diabetes: a prospective study in UK Biobank
This study found that social isolation was significantly associated with the increased risks of all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality among individuals with T2DM. Loneliness was also associated with all-cause mortality and CVD mortality, but not cancer mortality. These findings highlight the importance of social isolation and loneliness management in patients with T2DM.
