Among persons aged 85+ four out of ten were living alone; only 10% were never married and 80% were widowed, so that the fact that they are living alone was a result of death of spouse and children leaving the family.
Med starejšimi od 84 let so živeli sami štirje od desetih, samo 10% jih ni bilo nikoli poročenih, 80% pa jih je bilo ovdovelih, tako da je bil tak njihov položaj (to, da so živeli sami) posledica smrti zakonca in pred tem odselitve otrok.
