WHAT DO WE MEAN BY “SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS”?Social scientists have studied several distinct features of social connection offered by relationships (Smith and Christakis 2008). Social isolation refers to the relative absence of social relationships. Social integration refers to overall level of involvement with informal social relationships, such as having a spouse, and with formal social relationships, such as those with religious institutions and volunteer organizations. Quality of relationships includes positive aspects of relationships, such as emotional support provided by significant others, and strained aspects of relationships, such as conflict and stress. Social networks refer to the web of social relationships surrounding an individual, in particular, structural features, such as the type and strength of each social relationship. Each of these aspects of social relationships affects health. We discuss the broad effects of these features of relationships for health, and, for ease of discussion, we use the terms “social relationships” and “social ties” interchangeably throughout this article. Abstract Social relationships—both quantity and quality—affect mental health, health behavior, physical health, and mortality risk. Sociologists have played a central role in establishing the link between social relationships and health outcomes, identifying explanations for this link, and discovering social variation (e.g., by gender and race) at the population level. Studies show that social relationships have short- and long-term effects on health, for better and for worse, and that these effects emerge in childhood and cascade throughout life to foster cumulative advantage or disadvantage in health. This article describes key research themes in the study of social relationships and health, and it highlights policy implications suggested by this research.<span>Keywords: </span><span>relationships, social support, social integration, stress, cumulative disadvantage.

One time when I was in Jiujitsu my opponent swept me off my feet and took my back. It was not looking good for me. My opponent tried to get the rear naked choke on me but I defended by tucking my chin and pulling his arm away from my neck. With all my might I pulled his arm down and turned to my back. I was safe for now but I still had to secure a postion. I felt my opponent shift his weight and I quickly swung my body around over top of him and I established a firm mount position. I pretended to do an ezikiel choke but quickly transfered over to an "S" mount. I squeezed my legs together and pulled his arm down for the most perfect arm bar I have ever done. The higher belts at the gym said I ought to be promoted to a higher belt level.
