This sadness or depression can have an impact on their physical and emotional well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Loneliness Studies and Seniors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Recent studies conclude that loneliness may affect the brain and possibly even hurry the onset of dementia. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\">Researchers have also stated that there\u2019s a connection between loneliness and heart disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>#1. Harvard Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Harvard researchers tracked 44,000 people with cardiac disease and found that 8 % of patients living alone died after just four years, in comparison with only 5.7 % of those who were living at home with a spouse, friend, or family member.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>#2. University of California Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">When researchers at the University of California in San Francisco monitored a group of seniors for six years, they found that almost one-fourth (22.8 %) of all the elderly adults who had reported feeling isolated or lonely had died by the end. Yet another 25 % had significant health declines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Here\u2019s the good news: older adults who reported that they were content and satisfied with their lives, only 12.5 % had a health decline, and 14.2 % had died.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2018\/12\/CK-Blog-second-photo-25.png\" alt=\"A senior male seated with his head rested in his hands | Senior Depression | Comfort Keepers Edmonton\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2018\/12\/CK-Blog-second-photo-25.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2018\/12\/CK-Blog-second-photo-25-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2018\/12\/CK-Blog-second-photo-25-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2018\/12\/CK-Blog-second-photo-25-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Comfort Keepers\u00ae Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
