A new health report says that having good friends in your old age helps you live longer. 
The report also says that having close friends may be more important than having close 
family ties. Researchers interviewed 1,500 Australians over the age of 70 about their 
social and family ties. The results suggest that people with close friendships were 22 per 
cent more likely to live longer. The researchers said this is because of the positive 
effects on the body of social activity and recreation. 
The researchers analyzed data from an Australian study, which began in 1992. The 10-
year-long study measured how behavioral, economic, environmental and social factors 
affected the health of 70-year-olds. The senior citizens were monitored annually for four 
years and then at three-yearly intervals. The team found that those with the strongest 
network of friends were less likely to die by the end of the ten-year period. This was 
true even when the senior citizen lost a spouse. The message is to keep in touch if you 
want to live longer.

Friction between adult siblings has traditionally not been of great interest to clinicians, 
or the culture at large. Nevertheless, societal changes have had an impact: As 
Americans have shifted from extended family units to nuclear family units, sibling 
relationships have been overshadowed by those between parents and children, or 
between spouses, says New York University sociologist Dalton Conley. 
Without a cultural mandate to stick together or a therapeutic road map to reconciliation, 
many siblings in strained relationships see no reason to continue. Psychologist Joshua 
Coleman, co-chair of the Council on Contemporary Families, says that parents and 
grown children feel a strong moral imperative to stay in touch, even if the relationship is 
difficult. “But for siblings the ties are weaker, so there is less tolerance,” he says.
