The prospective association of social relationships and activities reported during a round of interviews and medical examinations in 1967-1969 with mortality over the succeeding nine to 12 years was examined for a cohort of 2754 adult (aged 35-69 years as of 1967-1969) men and women in the Tecumseh Community Health Study. After adjustments for age and a variety of risk factors for mortality, men reporting a higher levels of social relationships and activities in 1967-1969 were significantly less likely to die during the follow-up period. Trends for women were similar, but generally nonsignificant once age and other risk factors were controlled. These results were invariant across age, occupational, and health status groups. No association was observed between mortality and satisfaction with social relationships or activities. How and why social relationships and activities predict mortality are discussed and identified as important foci for future research.
在蒂卡姆西社区健康研究中，对1967年至1969年一轮访谈和医学检查期间报告的社会关系和活动与随后9至12年死亡率之间的前瞻性关联进行了研究，该队列包括2754名成年男性和女性（截至1967年至1969年年龄在35至69岁之间）。在对年龄和各种死亡风险因素进行调整后，报告在1967年至1969年社会关系和活动水平较高的男性在随访期间死亡的可能性显著降低。女性的趋势相似，但在控制年龄和其他风险因素后通常不显著。这些结果在年龄、职业和健康状况组中是不变的。未观察到死亡率与对社会关系或活动的满意度之间存在关联。讨论了社会关系和活动如何以及为何预测死亡率，并将其确定为未来研究的重要重点。
