The results of a large-scale 12-year study have shown that a person who feels abandoned risks to acquire a huge number of diseases.
Experts from the University College in London decided to assess how strongly the relationship affects human health and the state of his heart. The study involved more than 9,000 volunteers.
Having checked the health of each participant, the scientists came to the conclusion that people, in families where there is no emotional support and regular conflicts, are as much as 34% more likely to suffer from heart ailments. In particular, they are all 23% more prone to coronary heart disease.
It is also worth noting that of two people who are equally likely to use alcohol and are addicted to smoking, those who do not have family relationships are at greater risk of acquiring a heart disease.
So, experts are not the first time to prove that there is a very close relationship between relations with people close to the state of the heart. The results of previous studies indicate that people whose marriage is happy live much longer. Married women get a heart attack 3 times less often than their lonely contemporaries. But divorced women risk getting a heart attack 30-40% more often than happy wives.
