Lack of social connection carries an equivalent, or even greater, risk of early death as other better-known risk factors such as smoking, excessive drinking, physical inactivity, obesity, and air pollution.
The Commission consists of 11 leading policy-makers, thought leaders and advocates. Running for three years, it will analyse the central role social connection plays in improving health for people of all ages and outline solutions to build social connections at scale.
The Commission will consider how connection enhances the well-being of our communities and societies and helps foster economic progress, social development, and innovation.
