NewzA study conducted by the Fundación IDIS reveals that 58.3 percent of individuals over the age of 65 living in their own homes in Spain experience feelings of loneliness with a certain frequency. These findings highlight a significant prevalence of social isolation among the elderly population residing independently.
In comparison, the study notes that the reported frequency of loneliness is lower among those living in residential care facilities, where the figure stands at 46 percent. This data, titled 'Salud y soledad,' underscores a notable disparity in perceived social connection based on the living arrangements of older adults.
