Living alone has been linked to a higher risk of cancer death in US adults. A recent study found that 2.5% of working-age adults who lived alone died from cancer, compared to 1.6% of those who lived with others. The strongest association was observed in adults aged 45 to 64. The study did not consider cancer types, treatment plans, or cancer stage at diagnosis. Individuals living alone also exhibited various risk factors such as poor health, activity limitations, psychological distress, obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Further investigation is needed to understand the factors contributing to this association. Learn more here.
