From the Michalski, et.al. article:
The association between social connectedness with both our physical and mental health has been reflected in a number of studies on social capital (Berkman, 1995, Berkman and Syme, 2017, Fisher et al., 2004, House et al., 1988, Hystad and Carpiano, 2012, Kim and Kawachi, 2017, Lochner et al., 2003, Ross, 2002, Shields, 2008). Those references are part of the 44 item bibiliography contained in the Michalski article.
