Does anyone have a link to the study or more info on how loneliness is the health equivalent of smoking like a pack of cigarettes a day?

I feel this applies to me.
 
There is plenty of research on this topic, not just for humans but all social animals. Most social species literally go mad from isolation. We live empty lives without any real connection. Maslow's hierarchy is no joke
 
just use google theory is legit, you should try it.

Looking for the link too.
I wonder when a health provider is asking an incel if he smokes, whatever we should say yes in that case, even if we don’t.

Never admit to anything that will raise your rate and lower your coverage!

Who cares about the money. It’s your health we are talking about.
In addition, to asking if you smoke or drink they should ask if you are incel because if these study truly exist this implies that the doctor needs to know about the health risks imposed by your inceldom (which is equal to smoking one pack of cigarettes per day, if this study is true). yes, they ask about martial status, but dosen’t prevent them from thinking you might have a gf.

Doctors steal. Here's your bill!

Yes, here is the article posed to US senate aging committee:

In page 3 it states:
"The effect of social relationships can be benchmarked against other well-established lifestyle risk factors. As shown in Figure 1a, the magnitude of effect of social connection on mortality risk is comparable, and in many cases, exceeds that of other well-accepted risk factors, including smoking up to 15 cigarettes per day, obesity, and air pollution [12]. "

To find the study the statement is based on, go to reference #12:

12. Holt-Lunstad, J., Smith, T. B., & Layton, J. B. (2010). Social relationships and mortality risk: a meta-analytic review. Plos Medicine, 7(7), e1000316-e1000316. doi: 10.1371/journal.pmed.1000316

If you google that, it will give you that full study:


Results
Statistically nonredundant effect sizes were extracted from 148 studies ([29][176]; see Table 1). Data were reported from 308,849 participants, with 51% from North America, 37% from Europe, 11% from Asia, and 1% from Australia. Across all studies, the average age of participants at initial evaluation was 63.9 years, and participants were evenly represented across sex (49% female, 51% male). Of the studies examined, 60% involved community samples, but 24% examined individuals receiving outpatient medical treatment, and 16% utilized patients in inpatient medical settings. Of studies involving patients with a pre-existing diagnosis, 44% were specific to cardiovascular disease (CVD), 36% to cancer, 9% to renal disease, and the remaining 11% had a variety of conditions including neurological disease. Research reports most often (81%) considered all-cause mortality, but some restricted evaluations to mortality associated with cancer (9%), CVD (8%), or other causes (2%). Participants were followed for an average of 7.5 years (SD = 7.1, range = 3 months to 58 years), with an average of 29% of the participants dying within each study's follow-up period.

Which concludes:
"The influence of social relationships on risk for mortality is comparable with well-established risk factors for mortality."


Now the real question, is given the average age used for the study was 64, does that mean that loneliness is more mortal to a person when they become older? Does loneliness of young adult incels will affect their mortality when they get older or can it be prevented if they do end up finding a partner by the time they get into their 60's?
