Abstract

Background: The impact of social isolation on social cognition is not entirely clear.

Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate the association between social isolation and social cognition.

Methods: In a population-based sample of 83 individuals aged 50+ years without dementia, we assessed the relationship between social isolation (measured by the Lubben Social Network Scale - LSNS-6) and performance on emotional recognition (measured by the Emotion Recognition Task (ERT)) and on Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities (measured by the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET)), two core aspects of social cognition.

Results: No significant association was found between social isolation and ToM abilities for both the unadjusted and adjusted models. Similarly, no significant association was observed between social isolation and emotion recognition.

Conclusions: Further research is needed to understand the complex correlation between social relationships and cognitive health, particularly in different cognitive domains, adopting a life course perspective.

社会隔离与社会认知：横断面分析

背景：社会隔离对社会认知的影响尚不完全清楚：社会隔离对社会认知的影响尚不完全清楚：本研究旨在调查社会隔离与社会认知之间的关系：方法：在83名50岁以上无痴呆症的人群样本中，我们评估了社会隔离（通过卢本社会网络量表--LSNS-6测量）与情绪识别（通过情绪识别任务（ERT）测量）和心智理论（ToM）能力（通过读心测试（RMET）测量）之间的关系，这是社会认知的两个核心方面：结果：在未调整模型和调整模型中，均未发现社会隔离与心智理论能力之间存在明显联系。同样，社会隔离与情绪识别之间也没有发现明显的联系：需要从生命历程的角度进一步研究社会关系与认知健康之间复杂的相关性，特别是在不同的认知领域。
