Dr. Visaria is a part of the team that has recently published “Getting lonely and isolated? Transitions in social isolation profiles over time and factors associated with them among older adults” on Social Networks. This longitudinal study of 1,305 older Singaporeans identified five distinct social isolation profiles based on social ties, support, and loneliness. Over half changed profiles over time. Lower education and financial insecurity increased the likelihood of losing supportive relationships, while worsening depressive symptoms predicted persistent or increasing loneliness. The findings suggest that socioeconomic disadvantage and mental health independently shape different dimensions of social isolation, requiring targeted interventions.
