In response to the COVID-19 pandemic that began in 2019, a policy of social distancing was initiated worldwide. Although circumstances necessitate such extreme measures, social isolation presents a risk for adverse health effects [59]. Older adults who are at greater risk for COVID-19 health complications are likely to remain in strict self-isolation longer than other age groups; therefore, the effects of isolation and ensuing loneliness may be especially severe for them [60]. Loneliness reflects subjective distress resulting from a discrepancy between desired and perceived social relationships. Unfortunately, it causes a host of poor outcomes, such as depression, anxiety, physical morbidity, and mortality, and might also correlate with older subjective age, which is associated with further health risks [4].
