Analysis reveals that social isolation increases death risk in older adults, suggesting tailored support programs can help mitigate these effects.
Therefore, this study emphasizes the need for policies and interventions addressing the issues of living alone and social isolation among middle-aged and older adults. It is particularly important to develop tailored support programs or policies that consider various factors such as sex, age. Through interventions like home visits and the formation of social networks, it is essential to mitigate social isolation among the elderly and create an environment where they can enjoy a healthy old age.
