Ce se întâmplă cu bărbații care rămân singuri?

In this Romanian‑language excerpt, Mihail Pautov discusses the health consequences of living alone, emphasizing a stark gender disparity. He cites research showing that men who live alone face a 49 % higher risk of premature death, whereas women living alone experience only a modest, statistically insignificant 7 % increase. Pautov attributes men’s vulnerability to smaller social networks, a lower propensity to seek help, and a heavier reliance on a partner for social connection. He contrasts this with his observations of his wife’s extensive social ties, arguing that women typically maintain broader circles for everyday conversation and emotional support, which benefits mental health. He frames these differences as rooted in both biology and entrenched social patterns.
