Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Social isolation can occur in elderly adults when they are unable to attend social events or maintain social connections due to factors like lack of transportation, language barriers, or mobility restrictions. The death of a spouse can also contribute to social isolation. Osteoarthritis and dementia are not directly related to the listed factors. Senescence is a natural process of aging and not a risk factor for social isolation.
