Social isolation and loneliness are increasingly recognized as important problems that negatively affect health. Individuals with strong social bonds are 50% less likely to die prematurely than those with weak social ties.1<\/sup> According to the CDC, Loneliness is the feeling of being alone, regardless of the amount of social contact. Social isolation is a lack of social connections. Social isolation can lead to loneliness in some people, while others can feel lonely without being socially isolated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Triple-S wants to address the social determinants of health, which include social isolation and loneliness. This initiative is committed to establish a comprehensive island-wide project to reduce the risks and effects of social isolation and loneliness, which can now be considered an epidemic.
