This paper reviews the empirical literature on social isolation and loneliness and identifies a wide range of published correlates. Using data from a study conducted in North Wales, the article uses a statistical modelling technique to refine models of isolation and loneliness by controlling the co-variance. The resulting models indicate that the critical factors for isolation are: marital status, network type and social class; and for loneliness: network type, household composition and health.
