The data was collected in a sample of 400 elderly by face\u2010to\u2010face interview using predesigned, pretested, and semi\u2010structured proforma that included Lubben Social Network Scale\u20146 (LSNS\u20106) and analyzed using Stata v16.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of social isolation was 34.3%; highest among those 65\u201374\u00a0years of age (44.5%) and females (56.9%). Increasing age, elderly with less than three family members, lower socio\u2010economic status, no children and financial dependence among socio\u2010demographic factors; insufficient time with children, lack of emotionally attachment and conflict in the family among family support factors; lack of social participation, poor perception of health and feeling lonely among psychosocial factors; lack of physical exercise, spiritual activity and sound sleep among lifestyle factors; and presence of active complaints, raised blood pressure and being anemic among medical factors were significantly associated with social isolation. Overall, the independent predictors of social isolation in elderly were age \u226575\u00a0years, lack of participation in social functions, feeling lonely and lack of sound sleep.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of social isolation among elderly from an urban slum in India was high and the existing evidence show a rising trend.
