Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults: Review and Commentary of a National Academies Report
Open accessAbstract
Highlights This article provides a comprehensive review of the recent National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine consensus committee report on Social Isolation and Loneliness (SI/L). The relevance specifically for mental health providers is emphasized.• What is the primary question addressed by this study?What are the physical and mental health consequences of SI/L? What are the current evidence-based interventions for SI/L which can be implemented by mental health professionals?• SI/L are significant public health problems and are clear risks for death, depression, anxiety, and cognitive disorders such as major cognitive impairment (dementia). The evidence based interventions by mental health professionals for SI/L are limited yet some have emerged which are promising.• Health and mental healthcare professionals may be the first to identify socially isolated and lonely older adults as these older adults are at significant increased risk for serious adverse outcomes. For this reason, these professionals should know how to screen for and to initiate interventions that can be helpful.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
