Although objective indicators of social relationships also predict health and well-being [31,32], these are generally thought to exert a somewhat smaller effect in comparison to loneliness. However, there is general consent that loneliness increases with age among older adults [33]. This is not surprising given the many objective losses that take place in advanced age [33]. Objective losses include, for example, retirement because it is often associated with the narrowing of one’s social network or the death of a spouse, siblings, and close friends, which also result in reduced social contact [34,35].
