Abstract: The loneliness of our elderly and social isolation has increased in our homes. The concept of active ageing, promoted by the WHO, encourages “the process of growing older without growing old through continued physical, social and spiritual activities throughout life”. Healthy ageing is a challenge. It is not only a biological process, it is determined by biological, social and social factors and Mora (2009) points out that the keys to successful ageing include achieving happiness, giving meaning to life with gratitude and being stress-free. The research focuses on the cognitive state of people through loneliness. The sample consisted of 250 people from an Elderly Centre in the Community of Madrid, the data collection was carried out in the centre itself, the AD8 test and the Este II Scale were used to assess cognitive development, evaluating social isolation. A descriptive and correlational study of the data obtained was carried out. The results show that human loneliness can affect the cognitive status of the elderly.
