Friday, December 16, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News
From Health Affairs
Dear John,
Today we published the 100th episode of the Health Affairs This Week
podcast
<[link removed]>.
In the episode, we cover major policy developments in health care this
year.
Elder Adults During COVID-19
In this month's Narrative Matters article, Louise Aronson and Ashwin
Kotwal discuss older Americans' experiences during the COVID-19
pandemic
<[link removed]>,
including social isolation and loneliness, generosity, and resilience.
They argue this experience must be studied and addressed.
Before the pandemic it was uncommon for clinicians to address loneliness
or social isolation, despite decades of research linking them to adverse
health outcomes and premature mortality, but now clinicians are
witnessing the health consequences of social isolation in older adults.

"From our perspective, it is time to end any ongoing isolation
measures that remain for community day programs, assisted living
facilities, and nursing homes," Aronson and Kotwal assert.
The authors describe four key considerations for the future in the case
another pandemic strikes.
To read all Aronson and Kotwal's considerations and learn more about
the experience of older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, read
December's Narrative Matters essay on our website.
