I feel like this just another one of those: “hey look also this bad thing correlates with poverty” type of studies.
Does social deprivation and poverty correlate? In my experience they have an inverse correlation: those in poverty being more likely to engage with others.
Apparently “social deprivation” does not mean “lonely,” it just means poor. It actually includes “overcrowding” as a measure of deprivation, so opposite of lonely.
To measure the deprivation of an area they primarily used the well-established Townsend Deprivation Index. The Townsend Deprivation Index measures deprivation using practical indicators like unemployment, overcrowding, and home or car ownership to measure material deprivation of different areas.
What a stange term to use. Cause social I definitely also thought social deprivation was refering to isolation.
Weird wording on their part.
Thank you.
Read the article. It’s about poverty.

very generic, which kind of bacteria, pathogenic bacteria, or non- beneficial bacteria that isnt pathogenic?
They clearly need small children to come by and lick their food. Share some of that bacteria. /s
