The least lonely
Hi.
"The scientists tracked more than 2,000 people aged 50 and over and found that the loneliest were nearly twice as likely to die during the six-year study than the least lonely." [From The Guardian.]
What's the difference between "the loneliest" and "the least lonely" ?
Thank you.
