A study in the online magazine Genome Biology  17  that loneliness actually influences the important part of our bodies—our genes.
In a small population of patients, researchers   18  more than 20,000 genes to compare how the genes of lonely and non-lonely individuals (个体) express themselves in molecular processes (分子过程) and in personal health. They found that gene expression is   19  in chronically (长期地) lonely people. “We now have a new way for understanding the relationship   20   social experience and physical health,” explains the study’s lead author, Steve Cole of University of California, Los Angeles.
