The Italian cross-cultural adaptation of the Social Vulnerability Index
This study develops the first index to measure social vulnerability in the Italian-speaking population, aiming at a multidimensional approach to address social and healthcare needs. If proven effective in subsequent validation studies, it may enhance geriatric assessments, improve early social vulnerability detection, and support tailored care plans.
