对来自伊利诺伊州库克县(N=229)的50-68岁(M=57.5)的高加索人、非裔美国人和拉美裔美国人进行了基于人群的样本测试，以检验孤独和共生的心理社会因素(抑郁症状、感觉到的压力、社会支持和敌意)如何与心血管和内分泌功能指数相关。扩展先前的研究，作者发现孤独与收缩压(SBP)升高和年龄相关的SBP增加有关，人口统计变量、健康行为变量和剩余的心理社会因素的净值。孤独感与自主神经或内分泌功能的差异无关。尽管结果受到所用横断面方法的限制，但它们与心血管疾病导致孤独个体发病率和死亡率增加的假设是一致的。
A population-based sample of Caucasians, African Americans, and Latino Americans, 50-68 years of age (M = 57.5), from Cook County, Illinois (N = 229), was tested to examine how loneliness and co-occurring psychosocial factors (depressive symptoms, perceived stress, social support, and hostility) were related to indices of cardiovascular and endocrine functioning. Extending prior research, the authors found that loneliness was associated with elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) and age-related increases in SBP, net of demographic variables, health behavior variables, and the remaining psychosocial factors. Loneliness was not associated with differences in autonomic or endocrine functioning. Although the results are limited by the cross-sectional methods used, they are consistent with the hypothesis that cardiovascular disease contributes to increased morbidity and mortality among lonely individuals.
