在Tecumseh[美国，密歇根]社区健康研究中，对2754名成年人(1967-1969年年龄为35-69岁)进行了调查，研究了1967-1969年一轮访谈和体检中报告的社会关系和活动与随后9-12年死亡率的预期关联。在对年龄和各种死亡风险因素进行调整后，在1967-1969年期间报告社会关系和活动水平较高的男性在后续时期死亡的可能性显著降低。女性的趋势相似，但一旦年龄和其他危险因素得到控制，总体上就不显著了。这些结果在年龄、职业和健康状况组中是不变的。没有观察到死亡率和对社会关系或活动的满意度之间的联系。讨论社会关系和活动如何以及为什么预测死亡率，并将其确定为未来研究的重要焦点。
The prospective association of social relationships and activities reported during a round of interviews and medical examinations in 1967-1969 with mortality over the succeeding 9-12 yr was examined for a cohort of 2754 adult (aged 35-69 yr as of 1967-1969) men and women in the Tecumseh [Michigan, USA] Community Health Study. After adjustments for age and a variety of risk factors for mortality, men reporting a higher level of social relationships and activities in 1967-1969 were significantly less likely to die during the follow-up period. Trends for women were similar, but generally nonsignificant once age and other risk factors were controlled. These results were invariant across age, occupational and health status groups. No association was observed between mortality and satisfaction with social relationships or activities. How and why social relationships and activities predict mortality are discussed and identified as important foci for future research.
