“Isolation and loneliness increase the risk of poor health, including increasing the risk of anxiety and depression. Six per cent of people aged 75 and over say they often or always feel lonely. People with a limiting long-term illness or disability are more likely to say they often feel lonely.” Reference: Heart of Bucks’ Bucks Uncovered 2023
