The Broken Heart: The Medical Consequences of Loneliness
Authors: James J. LynchPublisher: Basic Books
Abstract: This book looks at how lonliness can affect a person's physical health. It is interesting from an ActiveAge perspective because loneliness tends to increase with age. If illhealth is a consequence of lonliness, we need to find ways of preventing people from being lonely, perhaps through technology. This will become increasingly important as the population ages.
