The mean of age and Body Mass Index (BMI) was found 74.96±8.12 and 28.25±6.61. There was no correlation between UCLA and age, BMI (p> 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between UCLA and living places and gender (p> 0.05).

In this study, there was no relation between loneliness and living places which is one of the factors could have effect on loneliness.
