Abstract
The millions of older adults who are affected by social isolation report less social support, which has been shown to benefit well-being and decrease risk for cognitive decline. Social support is measured in different ways, including emotional, informational, and instrumental support. As an exploratory study, this secondary data analysis of 30 older adults living with Mild Cognitive Impairment examined what social support subtype is associated with social isolation. Social isolation was measured using the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) Social Isolation Computer Adaptive Test (CAT). Social support subtypes were measured using the PROMIS Informational, Emotional, and Instrumental Support CATs. We found that informational support, was significantly associated with decreased self-reported social isolation. This finding increases our understanding of informational support's potential and can inform future strategies for older adults with MCI facing social isolation.

Activities, Adaptation, & Aging is the working tool for activity directors and all health care professionals concerned with the enhancement of the lives of the aged. Established as the primary journal for activity professionals, Activities, Adaptation & Aging provides a professional outlet for research regarding the therapeutic implications of activities on quality-of-life issues and overall life satisfaction for the elderly. The journal examines a wide spectrum of activities: activity-based intervention for persons with dementia; activity determinants in independent-living elderly; activity implications in a variety of settings; activity participation patterns; and activity implications for everyday practice.
