It is already proven that being lonely can be harmful to your psychological health.

But it can also affect your physical health, especially by speeding up your body's aging process.

That's according to a new study, which found that loneliness increases people's biological age more than regular smoking.

'Mental health the main driver of aging'

"There is a large body of research on how mental and physical health are connected, including their common aging trajectories," Galkin said.

Manuel Faria, another author of the study, argued that "mental and psychosocial conditions are some of the most powerful predictors of health outcomes and quality of life, but they have been largely left out of modern health care."

He said that the psychological aspect of aging should not be neglected in either research or practical anti-aging applications.

The authors concluded that given the strong link between psychological conditions and aging, poor mental health should be recognized as a major driver of aging./ CNA.al Source: Euronews
