This study examines differences in social isolation by rurality among US older adults using the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project data. We measured differences between urban and rural (micropolitan or noncore) residents across multiple dimensions of social isolation, and conducted multivariable analysis to assess the associations between rurality, sociodemographic characteristics, and loneliness, overall and by rurality.
