A second study, using related data, found that access to technology such as cell phones can prevent social isolation among older adults.
Older people who have few social connections and interactions are at a higher risk for developing dementia, a new study has found.
Social isolation is defined as having few relationships and few people to interact with regularly. The study measured this based on whether or not participants lived alone, talked about “important matters” with two or more people in the past year, attended religious services or participated in social events. Participants were assigned one point for each item, and those who scored a zero or one were classified as socially isolated.
