Description
Kateryna Metersky, Marco Nanfara, and Lixia Yang review social connection and well being in later life in a 2026 paper. Older adults face a raised risk of isolation. Friends die, mobility shrinks, and daily contact thins. The authors frame connection at three levels: close relationships, community ties, and wider systems of support. Each level can lift or fail an elder's daily well being in its own way. The review gathers what is known about keeping all three strong.
