TOUS 4698 Solitude une epidémie aux lourdes consequences sur la sante

In France, nearly one in four people reported feeling lonely by 2025, a phenomenon particularly pronounced among young people and the elderly. Beyond psychological distress, isolation can have consequences for mental and physical health, notably increasing the risk of depression, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline. Faced with this situation, experts are calling for the strengthening of social connections and local activities.
