| Primary | Subjective feeling of loneliness | Change from basline score at UCLA Loneliness Scale at 2 months | Indicates self feeling of loneliness. Measured with UCLA Loneliness Scale Minimum score: 20; Maximum score: 80 Highest scores indicate greater loneliness (Russell, 1996). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Primary | Stroop Test (inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility) | Change from basline score at test at 2 months | Executive Cognitive Functions measured through the Stroop Test Interference score for time and errors (higher scores worse performance) Score range: n.a. (Cafarra et al., 2002) | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Primary | Executive Cognitive functions: processing speed in Symbol Search | Change from basline score at test at 2 months | Executive Cognitive Functions measured through the Digit Symbol test from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV).

| Primary | Cumulative Illness Rating Scale | Change from basline score at scale at 2 months | Clinical tool to measure objective older people illness status Scores range between 14 to 70 with a higher score indicating worse health satus (Parmelee et al. 1995) | ClinicalTrials.gov |
