Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed the link between loneliness and the risk of developing dementia over a 10-year period, using data from the Framingham Study to assess participants' loneliness and cognitive health.
  • Findings revealed that individuals who reported being lonely had a higher risk of developing dementia, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.54, and this risk was even greater for older adults with no specific genetic risk factors.
  • Additionally, loneliness was associated with poorer cognitive function and brain health, indicating that emotional well-being may be crucial for preventing neurocognitive decline.
