We included in our analysis 30,186 observations longitudinally collected between 1980-2019.  \nLoneliness reported at least once weekly was more prevalent in younger age groups, decreased in mid-life and then increased in older age in a U shaped curve as in prior literature; this trajectory persisted across decades with total prevalences of: 26.6%, 22.5%, 20.6%, 18.3%, 16.5%, 23.1%, and 33.7% in age groups 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, 75-84 and 85-94 respectively.  \nLoneliness three or more times per week decreased from the 1980s for all ages with continued declines in younger (25-34; 35-44) and older (75-84; 85-94) age groups. Despite these decreases, loneliness prevalence remained highest in the oldest age groups (75-84; 85-94) which reported rates of 11.6% and 15.9% respectively, compared to 5.7-6.9% in younger participants. Loneliness prevalence in ages 75-84 and 85-94 declined across decades with rates respectively of 22.4% and 36.0% from 1980-1989; 11.4% and 15.3% from 1990-1999; 9.7% and 13.9% from 2000-2009; and 7.0% and 9. 8% from 2010-2019.  \nHowever, prevalence rates across ages still maintained a J shaped curve. Loneliness has decreased from the 1980s in the Framingham Heart Study, though older adults ages 75-84 and 85-94 maintained the highest prevalence of loneliness. Further research into factors contributing to declining rates of loneliness is merited.","cbCairMqQ2S5Ax0F","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairMqQ2S5Ax0F","pdf",1054485,"English","# Methods and data\n## Measures and sample\n# Results\n## Weekly loneliness across decades\n## Loneliness at least three times per week\n# Interpretation and implications","[{\"question\":\"How was loneliness measured in the study?\",\"answer\":\"Participants responded how often they felt lonely in the past week using CES-D Scale items.\"},{\"question\":\"What data period and sample size were analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"The analysis included 30,186 longitudinal observations collected between 1980 and 2019.\"},{\"question\":\"How did loneliness prevalence vary by age over time?\",\"answer\":\"Loneliness at least weekly showed a U-shaped age pattern across decades, while older adults (75–84 and 85–94) consistently had the highest prevalence despite overall decreases.\"}]","TEMPORAL TRENDS IN LONELINESS ACROSS FOUR DECADES IN THE FRAMINGHAM HEART STUDY | PDF",1790641750]
