- Backgrounds: The prevalence of loneliness increases among older adults, varies across countries, and is related to within-country socioeconomic, psychosocial, and health factors.

- Health inequity and not health equity is an ever-present problem for minority elders. We believe that health inequity in later life is best understood from a life-course perspective—to fully grasp current and past effects of inequities.

People who are 50 years of age or older are more…February 2020Aging and Life Course
