Is it true that chronic loneliness is associated with an increased risk of premature death?
Yes. A 2010 systematic review and meta-analysis reported a significant association between loneliness and increased mortality, and a 2025 meta-analysis of 86 studies found loneliness associated with increased all-cause mortality in older adults (HR 1.14).
