Research by Gallup and Meta, processed by Statista, *The Global State of Social Connections*, highlights the increasingly prevalent global phenomenon of loneliness.

Of all respondents surveyed two years ago, 24% reported feeling quite or very lonely. Meanwhile, 27% of respondents felt slightly lonely, and 49% did not feel lonely at all.

Statista focused on loneliness experienced by young people. The results show that respondents aged 19-29 experienced significant loneliness, with a proportion of 27%.

Meanwhile, 25% of respondents aged 15-18 reported feeling quite or very lonely. The same proportion was found among respondents aged 30-44.

Older age groups experienced lower levels of loneliness: 22% for the 45-64 age group and 17% for those aged 65 and over.

Statista notes that feelings of loneliness and social isolation are not limited to the COVID-19 pandemic. This data shows that loneliness continues to affect a significant number of people, even after lockdowns ended.

Statista adds that loneliness can have serious health implications, primarily increasing the risk of several chronic diseases.

"Such as diabetes and dementia, as well as mental health disorders including anxiety and depression," Statista wrote on its website, published on November 13, 2023.

However, further research is needed to understand the reasons behind the loneliness experienced by the respondents.

This survey interviewed people aged 15 and over in 142 countries from June 2022 to February 2023. Statista states that this survey provides insights into the prevalence of loneliness across various age groups.
