Widowhood is common in old age, can be accompanied by serious health consequences and is often linked to substantial changes in social network. Little is known about the impact of social isolation on the development of depressive symptoms over time taking widowhood into account. We provide results from the follow-up 5 to follow-up 9 from the longitudinal study AgeCoDe and its follow-up study AgeQualiDe. Depression was measured with GDS-15 and social isolation was assessed using the Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS-6). The group was aligned of married and widowed people in old age and education through entropy balancing. Linear mixed models were used to examine the frequency of occurrence of depressive symptoms for widowed and married elderly people depending on the risk of social isolation. Our study shows that widowhood alone does not lead to an increased occurrence of depressive symptoms. However, “widowed oldest old”, who are also at risk of social isolation, have significantly more depressive symptoms than those without risk. In the group of “married oldest old”, women have significantly more depressive symptoms than men, but isolated and non-isolated do not differ. Especially for people who have lost a spouse, the social network changes significantly and increases the risk for social isolation. This represents a risk factor for the occurrence of depressive symptoms.

In the area of health, numerous studies have shown a strong difference between the sexes (morbidity, mortality, development and course of diseases, health behaviour) [28,42].…”

Life history factors have a significant role in disease development and coping, but have been given little consideration in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on a thorough analysis of oral history interviews from the initial phase of the pandemic, an investigation of the effects of COVID-19 on individual areas of life is carried out and subjective coping patterns are considered The mental stresses experienced due to the pandemic situation relate primarily to the social environment, the job and society.In particular, the aspect of reconciling professional and private obligations makes it clear that the challenges perceived here affected women with small children and single parents in particular. The results illustrate the importance of gender and life situation for the individual experience of the pandemic.
