This study found that those (25) ______valued friendships highly were healthier and happier (according to their own reports), especially as they got older. The second study used data from a US survey of 7,481 people over 50. Subjects were questioned about the quality of their friendships - how much friends understood them and how much they let them down.

        When friendships were reported as being stressful, people reported (26) ______        rates of disease. When friends were supportive, people were healthier. Most of the friendships were reported as being supportive. Family, (27) ______, were found to have little influence on an individual's health and wellbeing. Spouses and children had some effect, but not as much as friends.

Chopik says he isn't suggesting we ignore our families, but that friends make us feel better. With friends you are more likely (28) ______do activities - they provide an outlet. You can say things to friends and they are less judgmental. There is a distance there that provides a level of honesty."
