To base such a conclusion on only one study, that contradicts the plethora of studies showing loving relationships to be the single strongest predictor not only of subjective happiness and optimism, but also objective measures of physical health, not to mention the myriad studies, especially from UK, that having a low rank in your workplace is literally deadly, even if you do a good job there, is dubious. I simply don't believe it. Studies of things like healthy longevity, which are more concrete and don't depend on any form of self-reporting, are more persuasive, and they show relationships matter.
This study did not even mention the importance of aesthetic pleasures, that come with creating or viewing art. That doesn't matter? To humans? Music, hugs, good food and brisk walks can coax you out of a mild depression, not to mention making happy people feel even better. I hope these COVID lockdowns showed everyone that we need each other.
