Abstract

In the Netherlands, many older people are moderately lonely, and about one in eleven is severely lonely. This prevalence is low compared to that in countries in Eastern and Southern Europe. Nevertheless, it is important to also pay attention to loneliness in the Netherlands because the health and well-being of an individual and the cohesion in our society will benefit from tackling loneliness. The health care provider starts by discussing the loneliness problem with the client or patient, and follows it up if necessary.
