2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间，保持社交距离政策对社会隔离和孤独感的潜在影响日益受到全球关注。尽管许多研究主要关注孤独，但社会隔离的模式——特别是物理和数字隔离——尚未得到充分研究。我们研究了50岁以上的美国成年人在封锁前和封锁期间的社会隔离、身体隔离、数字隔离和孤独感的变化。健康与退休研究（Health and Retirement Study）对50岁以上的美国成年人进行了两轮调查。采用固定效应回归模型来确定2016年至2020年期间的个人内部变化，以检查大流行期间社会距离政策的影响。在COVID-19社会距离政策期间，受访者的身体隔离和社会隔离有所增加。然而，受访者在数字隔离或孤独感方面没有变化。身体隔离的增加只出现在高度关注COVID-19的人身上，而低关注的人在身体隔离方面没有变化。尽管由于社会距离政策，身体隔离有所增加，但50岁以上的美国成年人仍通过数字联系保持联系，并在保护自己免受孤独方面具有弹性。
The potential impact of social distancing policies during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on social isolation and loneliness is of increasing global concern. Although many studies focus primarily on loneliness, patterns of social isolation—particularly physical and digital isolation—are understudied. We examined changes in social isolation, physical isolation, digital isolation, and loneliness in U.S. adults older than 50 before and during the lockdown. Two waves of the Health and Retirement Study, a national panel sample of U.S. adults older than 50 years, were used. Fixed-effects regression models were fitted to identify within-person change from 2016 to 2020 to examine the impact of social distancing policies during the pandemic. There was an increase in physical isolation and social isolation among respondents during the COVID-19 social distancing policies. However, respondents experienced no change in digital isolation or loneliness. The increase in physical isolation was only present for people with high COVID-19 concern, whereas people with low concern experienced no change in physical isolation. Despite an increase in physical isolation due to the social distancing policies, U.S. adults aged older than 50 stayed connected through digital contact and were resilient in protecting themselves from loneliness.
