Social isolation is the lack of social contacts or having few people to interact with regularly. Although it is not always necessarily associated with loneliness because others can feel lonely without being socially isolated. And oftentimes, being alone can be relaxing, meditative, and bring solitude.
Current research reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, however, suggest that older adults are at greater risk for loneliness and social isolation because of varying factors such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and many others.
