Yes this is important.
Good connection with other living beings, human or animal, can bring a great number of benefits to your health, quality of life and health span.
They are claiming between 45 and 65 percent reduction of mortality. That is a pretty big number. Obviously if lonely people are unhappy stressed people, they are at risk for shorter, less healthy lives.
Also if you are lonely and miserable (i consider the two to be distinct.) why bother looking to extend ones lifespan.
Good food for thought.
