Concerns have been raised about a resulting pandemic of loneliness in older people, although the current evidence is mixed.

The sample comprised 379 adults aged over 75 living in Cambridge, Newcastle, and Nottingham. Multivariable binary logistic regression was conducted to identify correlates of prevalent loneliness, adjusted for confounding covariates, during the pandemic.
