Checking out the social capital 'Factoids' from the Saguaro Seminar on Civic Engagement in America - provide more evidence of the link between social capital and health:
"Joining and participating in one group cuts your odds of dying over the next year in half. Joining two groups cuts it by three quarters."
"Civic engagement and volunteering is the new hybrid health club for the 21st century that's free to join and miraculously improves both your health and the community's through the work performed and the social ties built."
Also have a useful social capital glossary.
