  • In 2023, the US Surgeon General issued a national health advisory on loneliness. According to the advisory, “Loneliness is far more than just a bad feeling—it harms both individual and societal health.” In this episode, discover the surprising impacts of loneliness on our physical and cognitive health with Lindsay Kobayashi, an assistant professor of Epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. She’ll delve into the roots and repercussions of long-term loneliness and examine how it can lead to serious health issues like memory decline and increased mortality risk — as well as the impacts on population health. We’ll also explore research-backed interventions and policy solutions that can help combat the loneliness epidemic.
