People who live alone could face higher risk of severe heart disease as they are more susceptible to unhealthy lifestyles, say Danish researchers.
Researchers from Aarhus Sygeus University, Denmark, studied population data on more than 138,000 adults living in the Aarhus area and found that people who live alone often have poor support systems and many lead unhealthy lifestyles.
Habits such as smoking and a poor diet, the experts found, were more common among those who lived alone - the reasons for the increased risk, reported the online edition of BBC News.
Between 2000 and 2002, 646 people were diagnosed with severe angina, or sustained a heart attack, or died because of a severe heart problem - a range of conditions known as acute coronary syndrome.
Age and living alone were the strongest factors for predicting someone would develop one of the conditions.
Women aged over 60 who lived alone made up just over 5 percent of the population, but accounted for a third of all deaths from the syndrome within 30 days of diagnosis.
Lone men aged over 50 comprised just under 8 percent of the population, but accounted for two thirds of deaths from the syndrome within 30 days of diagnosis.
