AB  - Given the high prevalence of common mental disorders (CMDs) and individuals 
      living alone in the United Kingdom, the goal of this study using English 
      nationally representative data was to examine the association between living 
      alone and CMDs, and to identify potential mediating factors of this association. 
      The data were drawn from the 1993, 2000 and 2007 National Psychiatric Morbidity 
      Surveys. CMDs were assessed using the Clinical Interview Schedule-Revised 
      (CIS-R), a questionnaire focusing on past week neurotic symptoms. The presence of 
      CMDs was defined as a CIS-R total score of 12 and above. Multivariable logistic 
      regression and mediation analyses were conducted to analyze the association 
      between living alone and CMDs, and to identify mediators in this association. The 
      prevalence of CMDs was higher in individuals living alone than in those not 
      living alone in all survey years. Multivariable analysis showed a positive 
      association between living alone and CMDs in all survey years (1993: odds ratio 
      [OR] = 1.69; 2000: OR = 1.63; and 2007: OR = 1.88). Overall, loneliness explained 
      84% of the living alone-CMD association. Living alone was positively associated 
      with CMDs. Interventions addressing loneliness among individuals living alone may 
      be particularly important for the mental wellbeing of this vulnerable population.
