"One in four Australians report feeling lonely, according to our new report
released this week from our research collaboration.
The data builds on a large study we conducted last year on social connection.
Together, the data show that once someone becomes lonely, they’re likely to
stay lonely.
Feeling lonely can have a negative impact on your health. It increases the
chance of having social anxiety and depression, and impacts the health of your
heart, your sleep and levels of inflammation. It also increases the likelihood
of an earlier death. Staying lonely can accelerate these negative impacts.
As more Australians grapple with a cost-of-living crisis, a key driver of
loneliness is financial hardship."
