This paper aims to investigate the causes that explain the discrepanciesbetween the effects of social relationships on health and wellness of theelderly people. Several disciplines of health sciences have developeddifferent theories to explain the evidence that confirm the positive effectsof social relations. Furthermore, there is acumuative evidence confirmingmost of the predictions derived from its principles.
