Analysis of young students' perception of loneliness: a cross-sectional study
This study highlights the high prevalence of loneliness among young individuals, affecting approximately two-thirds of the population aged 14-30. The findings underscore the importance of addressing loneliness as a public health concern, with particular attention to vulnerable groups. Further research is needed to develop effective prevention, detection, and intervention strategies tailored to youth, which could be implemented through Primary Care and educational institutions.
