Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The absence of social relationships negatively affects physical, psychological, and social health. In other words, it alters people's quality of life and makes active aging difficult. The investigators have designed a study to reduce unwanted loneliness in people over 65 living in the community through multiple interventions (music therapy, health education, and physical exercise).
