• Loneliness and Social Isolation as Risk Factors for Mortality (2015, background): “A substantial body of research has also elucidated the psychological, behavioral, and biological pathways by which social isolation and loneliness lead to poorer health and decreased longevity (for reviews, see Cacioppo, Cacioppo, Capitanio, & Cole, 2015, this issue; Shankar et al., 2011; Thoits, 20”

• Social isolation, loneliness, and all-cause mortality in older men and women (2013, background): “We created an index of social isolation by assigning one point if the respondent was unmarried/not cohabiting, had less than monthly contact (including face-to-face, telephone, or written/e-mail contact) with each of children, other family members, and friends, and if they did not participate in org”
• The association between social support and physical activity in older adults: a systematic review (2017, background): “The loneliness studies had much more overlap in loneliness measures, with three studies using the CES-D one item scale, assessing how often people felt lonely in the past week, and two of the other studies used scales with similar wording [58, 61].”
