Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations of the study: There are several limitations to this study. First, because it was conducted online using the Internet, the generalizability of the results is uncertain, but we attempted to minimize participant bias by sampling by occupation, region, and prefecture based on the incidence of infection. Second, the accuracy of the reported incidence of loneliness may be questioned because loneliness was evaluated only by the question: “Have you ever felt loneliness?” In studies that evaluated accuracy, the binary evaluation of living alone had the lowest accuracy.26 However, we feel that the question asked in this study is appropriate, as it briefly asks about participants’ subjective experiences. Third, because this is a cross-sectional study, the temporal relationship between loneliness and psychological distress is unknown.
