In a recent study published in BMC Medicine, researchers examined the associations between functional and structural components of social connection and all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality using data from the United Kingdom (UK) Biobank. They examined independent and combined associations to understand how these social components interacted. Study: Longitudinal associations between paternal mental health and […]
