Social Isolation and Subjective Well-Being Among Older Adults: A Longitudinal Examination by Race/Ethnicity and Gender
This study underscores the need for tailored interventions to address the impact of social isolation on SWB. Although Black and Hispanic older adults experience higher levels of isolation compared to their White counterparts, they demonstrate resilience that helps mitigate its negative effects. These findings highlight the importance of culturally relevant strategies to enhance the quality of life in diverse aging populations.
