The research findings suggest that social isolation and lack of social support increase the risk of mortality. Therefore, Oscar, who lives alone and seldom has contact with others, would be most likely to die over the next twelve years. The other options involve social activities or connections that would provide some level of social support and reduce the risk of mortality.
