      abstract     = {Objectives: The adverse health effects of loneliness are
                      well documented, but less is known about cultural moderators
                      of this relationship. Contributing to the literature, we
                      examined whether cross-cultural differences in individualism
                      moderate the effect of loneliness on health. Methods: We
                      used population-based longitudinal data of 14 countries (N =
                      40,797), as provided by the Survey of Health, Ageing, and
                      Retirement in Europe data. Multilevel regression analyses
                      were employed. Moderating effects were analyzed for multiple
                      health outcomes: activities of daily living, instrumental
                      activities of daily living, grip strength, life
                      satisfaction, depression, memory performance, verbal
                      fluency, and numeracy. Results: Cultural individualism
                      significantly moderated the effect of loneliness on health
                      regarding most health outcomes. In general, the effect of
                      loneliness on health became stronger in less
                      individualistic/more collectivistic countries. Discussion:
                      Cultural individualism proved to be one important moderator
                      of the loneliness–health relationship. As previous studies
                      mostly used samples from highly individualistic countries,
                      the current literature might severely underestimate the
                      global public health burden of loneliness.},
