Loneliness in Later Life: Causes, Consequences, and a Path to Connection

By Krishna Kumar

Loneliness is one of the most serious public health crises of our time, yet it remains often invisible. Unlike cancer or heart disease, it leaves no visible scar. It rarely appears on a medical chart. And yet, its damage to the human body and mind is devastating and well-documented. While loneliness touches people of every age, its grip is most severe on older adults. This is the only available book devoted exclusively to understanding loneliness among older adults. It draws on multidisciplinary research spanning neuroscience, psychology, sociology, medicine, and the social sciences to offer a comprehensive examination of the problem and the solutions.
