Middle-aged adults in the U.S. tend to report significantly higher levels of loneliness than their European counterparts, possibly due in part to weaker family ties and greater income inequality, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.

Infurna and his colleagues examined data from ongoing, nationally representative longitudinal surveys from the United States and 13 European countries, with more than 53,000 participants from three different generations . Data were collected from 2002 to 2020 and only included responses given when participants were between the ages of 45 and 65.
While the U.S. showed consistent historical increases in midlife loneliness during the period data were collected, some European nations displayed more varied patterns. For instance, England and Mediterranean Europe demonstrated similar increases in loneliness for later-born participants . Continental and Nordic Europe demonstrated stable or even slightly declining levels across generations.
The study also found that loneliness is generally on the rise compared with previous generations across both the U.S. and Europe, with Europe's numbers only slightly behind those of the United States.
