Abstract
En 中文
Loneliness and social isolation are major public health concerns among older adults and are associated with depression, cognitive decline, frailty, and loss of independence. Companion animals (and dogs in particular) might mitigate these adverse outcomes by fostering emotional support, physical activity, and social interactions. The objective of the present study aimed to evaluate the association between dog ownership and loneliness in community-dwelling older adults.
