Blood is thicker than water, but that doesn't mean our friendships should take a backseat to our family relationships as we grow up.
血浓于水,但这不意味着在我们成长过程中面对家庭关系时友谊就得靠边站。
A new study has found that friendships can have a much greater impact on our overall health and happiness as we age than our families, suggesting that it's worth our while to invest in those relationships now, so they're with us for the long-haul.
一项新的研究发现,随着年龄增长,友谊对我们整体健康和幸福的影响要比家庭更大,研究表明我们现在值得把时间投入到友谊中,因此友谊才能长久相伴。
"Friendships become even more important as we age," says psychologist William Chopik from Michigan State University. "Keeping a few really good friends around can make a world of difference for our health and well-being. So it's smart to invest in the friendships that make you happiest."
来自密歇根州立大学的心理学家William Chopik说:“随着年龄增长友谊会变得更重要,身边留住几个挚友会影响我们的健康和幸福,所以明智的做法就是对使你最幸福的友谊进行投资”。
To figure this out, Chopik analysed survey information about relationships and self-rated health and happiness from 271,053 participants across all age groups from nearly 100 countries around the world. He then compared the results to a separate survey about relationship support, relationship strain, and chronic illness, involving 7,481 older adults (median age 68) in the US.
