Wang H, Lee C, Hunter S, et al. - In order to assess how loneliness amongst older old people influences their cognitive function over a 20-year period, researchers obtained and analyzed data from wave 3 to wave 10 of the Cambridge City over-75s Cohort (CC75C) study. At wave 3, they interviewed 713 participants; 657 of these participants (92%) had Mini-Mental State Examination assessments. As per the multi-state modeling, there was no relation of loneliness to cognitive function transitions, and as per results from the generalized estimating equation model, there was no significant correlation of loneliness with cognitive function decline after adjusting for cohort effects, follow-up time, gender, education, and interaction terms for gender, education, and time.
