This finding can be explained by the age of the participants in this study.…”

Both the perception of social isolation linked to the perception of loneliness and the feeling of lack of social and family support linked to rare interactions and limited social networks lead to affective disorders fostering or worsening symptoms of anxiety and depression in elderly people [ 9 , 10 ].…”
