Loneliness can increase stroke risk by up to 56%

subjective replies to 9 year follow up study

I couldnt work out how they came to the 56% figure.

researchers found people considered lonely at the start of the study had a 25% higher risk of stroke than those not considered lonely.

Researchers found that adults aged 50 and above who experienced chronic loneliness had a 56% higher risk of stroke than those who consistently reported not being lonely.

How many actually had a stroke?

How many died of stroke because they lived alone and had nobody around to contact emmergency services?
