Abstract

En 中文
• Older women admitted to the emergency department reported moderate levels of loneliness and low to moderate levels of somatization. • Loneliness was significantly associated with higher somatization scores and emerged as a strong predictor of somatic symptoms. • Socio-demographic factors such as marital status, education level, chronic illness, and social support influenced both loneliness and somatization levels.
