本文通过分析中国老年健康影响因素跟踪调查(CLHLS)2011年的数据,研究了参与休闲活动对老年人认知功能的影响。研究发现,参与各项休闲活动比例较高的老年人,其认知功能缺损的比例相对较低。回归分析结果表明,当控制了样本的人口特征(包括年龄、受教育程度、性别、居住地)、社会经济地位、健康状况、以及生活习惯等变量以后,参与社交类、益智类、以及轻度户外活动的程度越高,我国老年人认知功能缺损的可能性就越低。这些发现鼓励我国老年人在晚年积极参与上述几类休闲活动从而降低其认知功能衰退的风险。 In this paper, we analyzed the 2011 CLHLS data to investigate the impact of participation in leisure activities on cognitive function in the elderly. The study found that the proportion of elderly people who take part in various leisure activities is relatively low. Regression analysis showed that after controlling for the demographic characteristics of the sample (including age, education level, gender, place of residence), socioeconomic status, health status, and lifestyle variables, participation in social class, educational class, and light Degree of outdoor activities the higher the degree of cognitive impairment in our country the lower the possibility of the elderly. These findings encourage our seniors to actively participate in these leisure activities in their later years and thus reduce the risk of their cognitive decline.
