There are variations between different countries in reported levels of loneliness but less attention has been given to variations within countries. We use data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) to investigate if loneliness for older people varies between different areas (urban, rural, inner city and deprivation status). Areas are classified using standard measures of deprivation and type (urban, rural) and we use 2 loneliness measures: R-UCLA scale and a self-rating question. |
