A group of 234 community-dwelling people and 234 nursing homes residents were selected (n = 468). Logistic regression models were applied using the six-item De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale as dependent variable.Results: Depression was associated with loneliness in both populations. Sex and marital status contributed to explain loneliness among those living at home, whereas gathering with family, friends, and neighbors showed a significant effect in the institutionalized group. Institutionalization per se showed a strong effect on loneliness.Discussion: Findings have potential implications for targeting older adults at risk for loneliness.The authors disclosed that they received the following support for their research and/ or authorship of this article: Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (National R&D&I Plan [Grant numbers ref.
