It highlights the compounded challenges faced by this population, emphasising the importance of holistic social care approaches that address both health and psychosocial needs. Findings suggest that minimal yet targeted interventions, such as accessible support networks and public health policies promoting social engagement, could significantly improve wellbeing and reduce long-term health inequalities.
