Adults with disability are experiencing extreme loneliness at greater rates than the rest of the population Severe loneliness among adults with disabilities is exceptionally high, according to US researchers who analysed data from national surveys collected between 2019 and 2020, and 2023 and 2024. They found that people with disabilities reported persistent feelings of loneliness at greater rates than the general population, and this occurred across all disability types. For example, the authors say that in a nationally representative survey of adults, 8% of people indicated persistent feelings of being left out and/or isolated and 10% indicated persistently feeling alone. In contrast, nearly one-third of those surveyed with disability reported these persistent feelings.
