Description
Christina Victor asks whether faith links to loneliness in older adults in England, in a 2024 study. Past work, mostly from North America, hints at a link, but the topic is rarely studied in the United Kingdom. Victor used a long running survey of ageing for the test.
The sample held 6,225 adults aged 50 and over from one wave of the survey. Most called themselves Christian, about one in five had no religion, and near half had not been to worship in the past year. About 19 percent scored as lonely. Going to worship looked linked to less loneliness at first, but the link faded once other traits were held fixed. Faith labels and private practice showed no link.
