Term Description

Social isolation scores range from 0 to 4, with 0 representing the highest level of social isolation and 4 representing the lowest level. Scores of 0 or 1 are the most socially isolated participants. Patients received 1 point for each of the following: being married or living together with someone in a partnership at the time of questioning, averaging 3 or more interactions per week with other people (assessed with the questions "In a typical week, how many times do you talk on the telephone with family, friends, or neighbors?" and "How often do you get together with friends or relatives?"), attending church or religious services 4 or more times per year, and reporting that they participate in a club or organization such as a church group, union, fraternal or athletic group, or school group.
