【 摘 要 】

In the UK, population screening for unmet need has failed to improve the health of older people. Attention is turning to interventions targeted at ‘at-risk’ groups. Living alone in later life is seen as a potential health risk, and older people living alone are thought to be an at-risk group worthy of further intervention.
