Overview

Scoping review reveals distinct precarities and adverse health outcomes in older adults without care partners, suggesting needed interventions.

Key Points

  • Older adults without care partners experience significant precarities, including environmental and social factors.
  • Outcomes studied focused more on health (19 studies) than well-being (8 studies) among older adults without care partners.
  • Only 4 studies tested interventions, indicating a gap in effective approaches for this population's unique needs.
  • The lack of explicit focus on marginalized sub-groups highlights a vital area for future research in addressing older adults' challenges.
