Association of loneliness and social isolation with excess risk of cardiovascular events in people with obesity: a prospective cohort study
Lower baseline levels of loneliness and social isolation were associated with lower obesity-related excess risk of CVD events. Our findings call for the integration of community engagement and social support networks into existing intervention programmes to provide more effective cardiovascular care for obese individuals.
