A model is drawn up based on cross-sectional data from a sample of 3,314 participants living in Wales. Whilst focusing on older individuals in general, this paper still holds important implications for dementia. E.g., cognitive impairment ws shown to have a greater effect on social resources than disability. The authors end by mentioning several strategies to alleviate loneliness and highlight the importance of dementia friendly communities in this context.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Social Model of Loneliness: The Roles of Disability, Social Resources, and Cognitive Impairment.
