Using longitudinal data from the US Health and Retirement Study, this study applied causal inference modeling to disentangle the independent and joint effects of social isolation and loneliness on later-life cognitive function. It shows that reducing social isolation is associated with modest but meaningful protection against cognitive decline, with loneliness mediating only a small proportion of this effect.

'Temperature and sex ratios at birth', a new study led by researchers at the Department of Sociology at the University of Oxford and published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), provides new evidence that higher temperatures can influence the sex ratio at birth, with important implications for population health and gender balance in a warming world.

A study by the University of St. Andrews has shown that social isolation accelerates cognitive decline in old age. This discovery revealed that even in the absence of feelings of loneliness, people who are socially isolated face a more rapid decline in mental abilities.

Unlike loneliness, which is subjectively felt by people, social isolation is measured objectively through such parameters as sociability, participation in public organizations and religious events.
