The clearest message that we get from this 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healtier. Period.

It turns out that people who are more socially connected to family, to friends, to community, are happier, they’re physically healtier, and they live longer.

People who are more isolated find that they are less happy, their health declines earlier in midlife, their brain functioning declines sooner and they live shorter lives.

从75年的研究中，我们得到的最明确的结论是：
我们发现，哪些跟家庭成员、朋友、和周围社区关系更紧密的人，他们更快乐，更健康，更长寿
那些与世隔绝的人发现自己不那么快乐，他们的健康状况在中年时更早衰退，大脑功能下降的更快，寿命也更短
