BMJ肿瘤学发表的一份新研究报告将孤独和社会孤立与癌症患者死亡风险较高联系起来,发现因任何原因死亡的风险增加34%,癌症致死风险增加11%。 A new study published in BMJ Oncology links loneliness and social isolation to a higher risk of death among cancer patients, finding a 34% increased risk of dying from any cause and an 11% higher risk of dying from cancer. 研究人员分析了来自多个国家160多万病人的数据,强调客观孤立和主观孤独都可能因引发压力、削弱豁免权和减少对治疗的遵守而恶化健康结果。 Analyzing data from over 1.6 million patients across multiple countries, researchers highlight that both objective isolation and subjective loneliness may worsen health outcomes by triggering stress, weakening immunity, and reducing treatment adherence. 虽然研究表明存在强有力的关联,但并不证明是因果关系。 While the study shows a strong association, it does not prove causation. 专家敦促医疗保健系统将心理健康和社会支助纳入癌症护理,特别是鉴于全球癌症病例预计到2050年将急剧上升。 Experts urge healthcare systems to integrate mental health and social support into cancer care, especially as global cancer cases are projected to rise sharply by 2050.
