Abstract

Through analyzing the 2011 data released by the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), this study examined the correlation between leisure activities and older adults’ cognitive function. The study found that a higher level of leisure activity participation linked to a lower risk of cognitive function decline. Leisure activity types also matter. Social participation, intellectual activities and outdoor activities were found to be beneficial to maintain older adults’ cognitive function. Older adults are encouraged to be engaged in those types of leisure activities to prevent cognitive function decline.
