• The Trajectory of Loneliness in Response to COVID-19 (2020, background): “This categorization aligns with other studies on age differences in loneliness (Luhmann & Hawkley, 2016) and the guidelines that identify adults over 65 as a group at higher risk for COVID-19 (CDC, 2020a).”
• Gender Differences in Loneliness across the Lifespan: A Meta–Analysis (2016, background): “A recent study, based on a large nationally representative German sample of adults, found a peak in loneliness for that age group (Luhmann & Hawkley, 2016).”
• ‘The invisible enemy’: disability, loneliness and isolation (2018, background): “Again this is relatively consistent with previous contemporary studies investigating both loneliness and social isolation, which produced rates ranging from 33% to 46% (Bowling 2005, 2009; Dahlberg and McKee 2013; Luhmann and Hawkley 2016; Tanskanen and Anttila 2016; Victor and Bowling 2012).”
• Loneliness in the general population: prevalence, determinants and relations to mental health (2017, background): “Research on loneliness over the life span concluded that loneliness was highest in late adolescence, gradually decreasing during middle adulthood, and then increasing for late adulthood [6, 7].”
• Loneliness among older European adults: results from the survey of health, aging and retirement in Europe (2018, background): “2005), whereas functional decline has also been significantly related to loneliness among the oldest-old German individuals (Luhmann and Hawkley 2016).”
• Loneliness and Mental Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Study Among Dutch Older Adults (2020, neutral): “Perlman and Peplau (1981) defined loneliness as an unpleasant experience with a deficiency in a person’s social relations.”
