This outcome is consistent with the idea that loneliness has two dimensions: emotional loneliness and social loneliness. The data suggest an equivalent effectiveness of UCLA LS-R in adults under 65 and over 65, which may indicate a similar structure of the loneliness construct in both populations. The models that best fit the empirical data are those of Hojat (1982) and Borges et al. All the analysed models of factor structure of the UCLA LS-R achieved a fairly good fit and RMSEA values over. The internal consistency of the scale obtained a Cronbach's alpha of. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess the factor structure of the UCLA LS-R. The UCLA LS-R scale was administered to a random sample of 409 community-dwelling residents of Madrid (53% women) aged 65-84 years (obtained from the MentDis_ICF65+ study). The goal of the study is to analyse the suitability of the scale´s structure for assessing older individuals. However, few studies examine the scale's use on older individuals. The UCLA LS-R is the most extensively used scale to assess loneliness. Confirmatory factor analysis of the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale ( UCLA LS-R) in individuals over 65.ĪusÃn, Berta Muñoz, Manuel MartÃn, Teresa Pérez-Santos, EloÃsa Castellanos, Miguel Ãngel
