Healio (11/20, Gramigna) reported, “Older adults with higher levels of loneliness were at increased risk for more severe depression symptoms,” investigators concluded after “analyzing seven waves of data collected once every two years between 2004 and 2017 of adults aged 50 years and older who were included in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing.” The findings of the 4,211-participant, “population-based cohort study” were published online Nov. 9 in The Lancet Psychiatry.
