BackgroundSocial isolation (SI) was recently identified as a significant public health issue in the United States. Consequently, several studies on the association between SI and mental health were conducted. However, few studies have considered the duration and intensity of SI. In the present study, a longitudinal analysis was conducted to determine the effect of the intensity of persistent SI on the mental health status of late middle‐aged and older Koreans.MethodsAfter excluding missing values, data on 6200 participants were analyzed using the group‐based trajectory model (GBTM) from the first to fifth Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) to categorise the SI trajectory (SIT). The Chi‐square test, t‐test, analysis of variance, and time‐lagged generalised estimation equations were utilised from the fifth to eighth KLoSA to determine the association between SIT and the incidence of cognitive decline (the group with a Korean version Mini‐Mental State Examination score of 23 or lower), cognitive function score, and depression score.ResultsFour SIT groups were identified in the GBTM analysis. These were the non‐SIT (21.7%), mild (46.8%), moderate (21.1%), and severe SIT (10.4%) groups. Compared to the non‐SIT group, the severe SIT group experienced a greater incidence of cognitive decline (odds ratio = 1.57, P < 0.0001) as well as poorer cognitive function scores (B = −0.63, P < 0.0001) and depression scores (B = 0.90, P < 0.0001). Furthermore, stratified analysis by sex and age showed that mental health status was inversely proportionate to the intensity of SIT, particularly in males and patients, aged 65 years and above.ConclusionA close association was observed between SIT and mental health. This finding highlighted the need for policies and institutional measures to reduce the incidence of mental health deterioration among vulnerable groups due to the intensity of SI.

Examining the rising prevalence of subjective cognitive decline as an early indicator of dementia in adults, this study investigates its complex interaction with loneliness and quality of life in individuals with preclinical dementia. Using a convergent parallel mixed-method approach, we employed Structural Equation Modeling on a cohort of 149 older adults. Qualitative insights were derived from focused group discussions and in-depth semi-structured interviews with a cohort of 23 older adults. Loneliness emerges as a pivotal contributor, exerting a discernible partial indirect effect on quality of life through subjective cognitive decline (indirect effect = −0.145, p = .006). Noteworthy differentials surfaced, with the impact of subjective cognitive decline on quality of life heightened in those with chronic diseases (△ χ2 = 6.139, p = .013). Loneliness, wielding a palpable impact, intricately interlaces with quality of life, the nexus of which is intricately mediated by subjective cognitive decline.

Bu araştırma, yaşlı bireylerde sosyal dışlanma ve depresyon durumunun belirleyicilerini değerlendirmek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın evrenini bir ilçe merkezinde bulunan bir aile sağlığı merkezine kayıtlı 65 yaş ve üzeri toplam 2236 yaşlı; örneklemini ise, araştırma kriterlerini karşılayan 320 yaşlı birey oluşturmuştur. Araştırma verileri Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Yaşlılarda Sosyal Dışlanma Ölçeği ve Geriatrik Depresyon Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde, tanımlayıcı istatistikler, ikili lojistik regresyon analizi ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan yaşlı bireylerin, %23,4'ü (n=75) 75 yaş ve üzerinde, %51,2'si (n=164) kadın, %29,4'ü (n=94) okuma yazma bilmiyor, %88,1’i (n=282) çalışmıyor, %15.9’unun (n=51) sosyal güvencesi bulunmamakta, %24,1’inin (n=77) geliri giderinden az, %46,9’u (n=150) evli değil ve %26,9’u (n=86) yalnız yaşamaktadır. Yaşlı bireylerin, Yaşlılarda Sosyal Dışlanma Ölçeği puan ortalaması 3,45±0,71 olup; gelir düzeyi, sağlık algısı ve depresyon düzeyi sosyal dışlanmanın anlamlı belirleyicileri olarak belirlenmiştir. Yaşlı bireylerin Geriatrik Depresyon Ölçeği Kısa Form toplam puan ortalaması 7,1±3,86 olup; gelir düzeyi, sağlık algısı ve sosyal dışlanma, geriatrik depresyon varlığının anlamlı belirleyicileri olarak tespit edilmiştir.
