Abstract
80.94% of empty nest elderly reported moderate to high levels of loneliness.
- Loneliness levels were associated with age, marital status, and income, but not with sex or education level.
- Higher social support and better family function are linked to lower levels of loneliness.
- Multiple regression analysis indicated that reduced social support and poor family function are connected to increased loneliness.
