Abstract	: Aging is accompanied by unique challenges, including heightened risks of social isolation and mental health issues. The rapid urbanization and proliferation of social media among older adults present both opportunities and challenges for mental well-being. While social media engagement fosters connections, it may also exacerbate loneliness and other mental health concerns, especially in urban geriatric populations.
