Lonliness

The question about loneliness will be phrased as follows: "Do you suffer from loneliness? (never / sometimes / often or always)".

Depressive symptoms

The Nursing Homes Short Depression Inventory (NH-SDI). It includes 16 closed-ended questions on depressive symptoms.

Lavel of social participation

Participants' social participation will be classified into six categories. The first level concerns all the daily activities that an individual normally performs alone in preparation for other activities that will put them in contact with other people (e.g., eating). The second level also includes activities where the individual is not in direct contact with other people, but where other people are present (e.g., listening to music in a performance hall). At the third level, the individual is in social contact with other people, either in person or online, but does not engage in any specific activity with them. At the fourth level, the individual collaborates with others to carry out an activity and achieve a common goal. The fifth level includes activities where the individual helps others (e.g., as a caregiver or volunteer). Finally, at the sixth level, the individual contributes more broadly to society through civic activities (e.g., getting involved in political parties).

Cognition

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). It evaluates short-term memory, visuospatial function, executive function, attention, concentration, working memory, language and orientation.

Frequency of participation in leisure activities per week
