The Impact Of Leisure Activities On Older Adults Cognitive Function, Physical Function, And Mental Health
ANSWERS
It has been suggested that leisure activities are highly advantageous for elderly people. Such actions are intended to support successful aging in older persons by preserving cognitive function, physical function, and mental health. We examined the effect of leisure activities on these dimensions in a sizable sample of older Japanese adults (N = 809; age range 72-74) using structural equation modelling (SEM). Participating in leisure activities was positively correlated with each of the three effective aging indicators, demonstrating a model with an excellent fit (CFI = 1). These results expand the applicability of earlier Western-based studies to the demographic of older individuals in the East. These correlational findings imply that older persons can preserve their cognitive, physical, and mental health by actively participating in leisure activities. Future studies will determine whether there is a causal link between leisure activity participation and successful aging.
