The Top 10 Ways Science Was Just Advanced In Chicago
Robotic Termites Build Without A Boss; Animals Dance To Earth, Wind & Fire
Dispatches from the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Chicago this weekend.
1. Loneliness ‘A Bigger Killer’ Than Obesity For Aged.
“Loneliness in old age is twice as bad for your health as obesity, scientists have warned.
John Cacioppo, a neuroscientist at the University of Chicago, said that feeling isolated or rejected by society could have profound negative effects on health, ranging from blood pressure to sleep patterns.
“People who reported feeling alone were 14 per cent more likely to die during the six-year study period. This compared with a 7 per cent rise in mortality risk for obese people, found in previous research. The most lonely individuals were twice as likely to die as those who were most sociable.
“Speaking at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Professor Cacioppo said maintaining close relationships was as important as finding an idyllic backdrop, warm weather and good food when planning for retirement. “We have mythic notions of retirement,” he said. He added that moving to a seaside resort was ‘not the best idea.'”
