Summary of the findings of Bakardadeak (“Solitudes”), a project funded by Adinberri and executed by Matia Institute that seeks to generate knowledge to identify the multidimensionality of the concept of “solitude” among people aging in Gipuzkoa, taking into account their own idiosyncrasies and the social and cultural context.
