Men's Friendships and Longevity: What the Research Says About Social Connection After 40

  A man can optimize his training, dial in his protein, fix his sleep, get his bloodwork perfect — and still be carrying one of the largest modifiable mortality risks in medicine without knowing it. Here's the research on social connection, why it hits men harder, and what actually rebuilds it. What the mortality research shows Holt-Lunstad's meta-analysis pooled 148 studies covering 308,849 participants and found people with stronger social relationships carried a 50% increased likelihood of survival — rising to 91% for complex measures of social integration.

Sbarra and colleagues pooled 32 studies covering more than six million people — hazard ratio 1.30 for mortality among divorced adults, stronger in men.
