This review delves into recent literature examining race/ethnic differences in social isolation and loneliness, and within race/ethnic group studies on social isolation and loneliness. Racial/ethnic minoritized older adults may be at greater risk of social isolation and loneliness in comparison to White older adults; however, findings from previous studies illustrate the relationships between social isolation and loneliness are complex and nuanced. This literature review concludes with recommendations when working with racial/ethnic minoritized older adults who are socially isolated and/or lonely.
