Recent studies and opinions highlight a growing concern over loneliness in the United States, particularly among middle-aged Americans, compared to their European counterparts, as noted by the APA. Robin Caruso, the chief togetherness officer at Anthem Blue Cross, emphasizes the need for interventions to support older adults. Research indicates that factors such as weaker family ties and greater economic divides contribute to this disparity. Furthermore, English middle-aged individuals are identified as the loneliest in Europe, with the condition being more prevalent than in previous generations. Additionally, younger Americans, specifically those 30 and under, are reported to be the least happy age group, a trend that contrasts with older generations who are becoming less happy over time.
