A growing number of people have died from "lone death" and lonely deaths.

However, more than half of the deaths were found to be men in their 50s and 60s.

This phenomenon has been going on since statistics were written, and we'll find out why.

This is the result of a survey of deaths from loneliness last year released by the Ministry of Health and Welfare yesterday.

Last year alone, more than 3,600 people died alone, and as you can see, 53.9% of men in their 50s and 60s accounted for more than half.

Compared to women, and compared to other age groups, the overwhelming proportion is noticeable.

Experts noted that men in their 50s and 60s retire at this time.

I try to get re-employed or start a business to overcome the economic difficulties that come after retirement, but it's not as easy as it sounds.

Analysts say that the failure of the attempt to go back to society will increase frustration, cut off from society, and lead to a risk of loneliness.

To make matters worse, divorce and bereavement at this time also create a crisis.

When you are separated from your family, you often leave your place where you lived and move alone to a place with poor living conditions.
For men in the
age group, they are not used to housework, so their lives are not done properly, and as a result, they are vulnerable to health care.

If you have a chronic chronic disease, you're going to get sick.It seems to be related to the fact that a large part of the

solitude occurs in studios, Gosiwon, and officetels.

In addition, the lack of welfare services that can be received compared to the elderly is also a hole.

Experts say that dying alone is not just a problem for the elderly. Fundamentally, it's a derivative phenomenon that comes from social isolation.

Therefore, he emphasizes the need to make more active efforts to create a 'link' in times of retirement or social disconnection.

Lonesome Death, which repeats every year, seems to have many points to worry about.
