Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Older adults commonly face the risk of social isolation, which poses a significant threat to their quality of life. This study explores the association between social participation and life satisfaction among older Chinese adults.
UNASSIGNED: Data were sourced from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Regression analysis and mediation analysis were employed to examine the relationship between social participation and life satisfaction, with a focus on the roles of loneliness and self-rated health.
UNASSIGNED: The results indicate that social participation is significantly positively associated with older adults\' life satisfaction. Furthermore, the positive association is more pronounced with increased diversity in social activities. Mediation analysis reveals that reductions in feelings of loneliness and improvements in health levels mediate the relationship between social participation and life satisfaction. Further analysis showed that social participation had a greater positive association among rural older adults and those lacking family companionship.
UNASSIGNED: This study provides evidence for enhancing life satisfaction among older adults and highlights the importance of diversity in social participation.

结果表明,社会参与与老年人的生活满意度呈显著正相关。此外,随着社会活动多样性的增加,这种正相关更为明显。中介分析显示,孤独感的减少和健康水平的改善调节了社会参与与生活满意度之间的关系。进一步的分析表明,农村老年人和缺乏家庭陪伴的老年人之间的社会参与具有更大的正相关关系。
这项研究为提高老年人的生活满意度提供了证据,并强调了多样性在社会参与中的重要性。
