The relationship between loneliness, depression and cognition: Evidence from smartphone‐based cross‐sectional and ecological momentary assessment
Depression symptoms mediate the effect of loneliness on cognition, both cross-sectionally and when assessed within-person. Older participants show less coupling between loneliness and low mood, but stronger coupling between low mood and slower cognition. Results have implications for differential interventions across the lifespan.
