Summary
Loneliness and social networks may influence onset of Alzheimer's disease, but little is known about this relationship in people with Alzheimer's disease. This study, published in Geriatric Psychology, aimed to explore the relationship between loneliness and social networks (social measures) and cognitive and psychopathology decline in people with Alzheimer's disease.
The authors concluded that maintaining or developing a close friendship network could be beneficial for cognition in people with Alzheimer's disease.
