Abstract

Isolation and loneliness affect approximately one in five older adults in developed countries. It is a risk factor for premature mortality. Animal-assisted therapy, whether informal or professional, gives meaning to daily life, promotes social connection, and encourages physical activity among older adults. This article provides a brief review of the literature on its implications.

Keywords: animal domestique; animal-assisted therapy; elderly person; intervention non médicamenteuse; isolement social; loneliness; médiation animale; non-pharmacological intervention; personne ùgée; pet; social isolation; solitude.
