Deborah Blum Quote

We typically think of stress as being a risk factor for disease, said Cole. And it is, somewhat. But if you actually measure stress, using our best available instruments, it can’t hold a candle to social isolation. Social isolation is the best-established, most robust social or psychological risk factor for disease out there. Nothing can compete.
