One in three adults are lonely, especially people in their forties

e researchers believe that this was reflected in the lower levels of loneliness reported by women than men.

  • Retired people were less likely to be lonely than people who were unemployed.

  • There was no significant link between how long the person had lived in their current community and how lonely they were.

  • However, there were clears links between household income and loneliness, with people on lower incomes reporting higher levels of loneliness.

    "Tackling loneliness is very important as it is a very common and potentially health-threatening phenomenon" adds Professor Lauder. "Previous research has indicated that health wise it carries a similar level of risk to obesity.

    "We hope that this study will provide health professionals and others with further insight into the causes of loneliness and support efforts to reduce health issues caused by the problem."
