Friendship Statistics

GITNUXREPORT 2026

Friendship Statistics

Even when people are online, loneliness still tracks with worse outcomes: among U.S. adults with poor health, 8.5% have no close friends, and stronger social relationships are linked to about a 50% lower mortality risk. This page pairs those human stakes with concrete social patterns, from how much time adults spend with friends to the scale of social media and online dating, so you can see where connection is truly helping and where it is not.

More people are connected than ever, yet loneliness still bites. In 2024, 74.4% of the global population used social media, while studies keep linking weaker social relationships to markedly higher risks of depression, dementia, and even early death. This post puts friendship and social ties side by side with the outcomes they predict, from how many close friends adults report to what meta analyses find over time.
