Congratulations to ISL Faculty Affiliates Angelina R. Sutin, Martina Luchetti and Antonio Terracciano, all of the College of Medicine, for their article in The Journals of Gerontology: Series B., which has been highlighted as an Editor’s Choice.

Their study, conducted with Yannick Stephann of the University of Montpellier in France, draws on the Health and Retirement Study dataset and tests whether loneliness is associated with risk of dementia. It also considers whether the association is independent of social isolation and whether it varies by demographic factors and genetic vulnerability.

The researchers found that loneliness is associated with increased risk of dementia. “Addressing this psychosocial risk factor,” the researchers say in the article, “will likely have a broad range of positive outcomes, including lowering risk and prevalence of dementia.”
