Reversed loneliness development after age 65 for men and women: Modeling of the age trajectories of loneliness using national cohorts in Taiwan and Japan
Lonliness in old age is very different between men and women. Women's loneliness curve shows an inverted U state: Although they feel more lonely than men during midlife, it has a downward trend as they get older. On the contrary, men's loneliness curve shows an upward U-shaped curve: After retirement, both Japanese and Taiwanese men continue to rise. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2025; 25: 620-627.
