Kasley Killam argues for the recognition of social health as a critical component of overall human health. Through her research and personal experiences, she demonstrates that social connections profoundly influence well-being and longevity. She highlights data indicating that a lack of social relationships can increase the risk of death by two to three times, drawing parallels to the deteriorating effects of smoking and excessive drinking. Killam believes it's essential to raise awareness of social health's importance and its impact on our lives.
"The reason why I believe it's so important to elevate and distinguish social health is because connection has such an outsized impact on our health, yet it's overlooked and underappreciated."
"If you look at all the data, it is incredible the extent to which it impacts and determines our health, our happiness, and our longevity."
