Better economic connectedness on social media linked with lower rates of premature death. Places with higher rates of economic connectedness—linkages between people of lower and higher socioeconomic status as indicated by Facebook friendships—had significantly lower rates of premature death relat
A recent study reveals that regions with stronger ties between individuals of varying socioeconomic backgrounds, as indicated by their Facebook friendships, have remarkably lower rates of premature death linked to heart disease.
“Social networks are important for health outcomes,” said Tabitha Lobo, MD, an internal medicine resident at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center and the study’s lead author. “Mechanisms to improve social networks could be established through youth mentorship programs, internships or school-based programs for connecting people, and these may have long-lasting effects on neighborhood characteristics with respect to cardiovascular mortality.
Researchers compared neighborhood-level economic connectedness data with rates of premature death from heart disease at the county level. To assess rates of premature death, they analyzed records from over 900,000 deaths among people between the ages of 25-65 that occurred between 2018-2020 and listed heart disease as an underlying cause of death.
While more research is needed to understand the factors at play, researchers said that this social media-based metric of economic connectedness may help to quantify a person’s opportunity for economic growth.
