Psychiatric News (8/6) reports, “The factors impacting adults’ feelings of loneliness change depending on their phase in life, suggesting there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ intervention to reduce loneliness,” investigators concluded after analyzing “data from the Adult Health Monitor Limburg 2016, a population-based health survey that monitors the self-reported health of adults in the Netherlands between the ages of 19 and 65.” Researchers “split the 26,342 adult participants into three groups: young (19 to 34 years), early middle-aged (35 to 49 years), and late middle-aged (50 to 65 years).” The findings were published online Aug. 6 in BMC Public Health.
