Estudos anteriores têm evidenciado uma conexão entre a escassez de interações sociais e distúrbios psiquiátricos.

No entanto, uma pesquisa recente revela que os danos podem se estender para além disso.

A análise indicou que pode existir uma associação entre o isolamento de pessoas idosas e uma maior probabilidade de perda de volume total do cérebro.

No grupo com menos contato social, a soma das substâncias que compõem a massa encefálica em relação ao volume intracraniano total foi de 67,3%.
