Abstract in brief

  • The study explores how social health factors like social isolation, social support, and loneliness are linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in healthy older Australians, finding that loneliness and social isolation are consistently associated with higher CVD risk scores.
  • Physical inactivity and depressive symptoms were the only CVD risk factors that showed consistent differences across all three social health measures, with loneliness linked to higher risk scores, especially among women.
  • Men tended to be more socially isolated, less supported, and less lonely compared to women, and the relationships between social health and CVD risk differed between genders, highlighting the importance of understanding these constructs individually for better health management.]
