LOINC description : The Social connection and isolation panel is a set of five questions used to assess
the number of types of social relationships on which a patient is connected and not
isolated. Individuals receive one point for each of the following: being married or
living together with someone in a partnership at the time of questioning, averaging
three or more social interactions per week, attending church or other religious services
more than four times per year, and reporting that they belong to a club or organization.
A score of 0 (a summation of social isolation risks) represents the highest level
of social isolation and a score of 4 represents the lowest level of social isolation.
Among both men and women, a low social isolation score was associated with a mortality
hazard ratio similar to that related to smoking and greater than that related to the
other traditional clinical risk factors.[PMID: 24028260] This study used the original
NHANES III marital status question with an answer list that included 'Married - spouse
in household' and 'Married - spouse not in household'. This panel includes the more
common and recent marital status term since the answer list is more representative
of what is being asked today.;
