Social Leisure Activities and Cognitive Functioning among Married and Unmarried Older Men and Women in Mexico.
Using data from Wave 5 (2018) of the Mexican Health and Aging Study, this research examines the implications of six social leisure activities for cognition among married and unmarried men and women in Mexico, while considering their physical health and depressive symptoms. The findings reveal some marital status and gender differences and similarities. This study indicates that church attendance and volunteering might be related to poorer cognition, whereas a training course, club participation, board games, and remote communication can provide cognitive benefits. Despite poor vision, poor hearing, and functional limitations, a training course, board games, and remote communication might be associated with better cognition. Yet, in case of poor hearing and depressive symptoms, volunteering, club participation, and board games might be linked to poorer cognition. The insights from this study can help develop intervention programs for improving later-life cognitive functioning through social leisure participation, particularly among individuals with deteriorating health.
期刊介绍:
Research on Aging is an interdisciplinary journal designed to reflect the expanding role of research in the field of social gerontology. Research on Aging exists to provide for publication of research in the broad range of disciplines concerned with aging. Scholars from the disciplines of sociology, geriatrics, history, psychology, anthropology, public health, economics, political science, criminal justice, and social work are encouraged to contribute articles to the journal. Emphasis will be on materials of broad scope and cross-disciplinary interest. Assessment of the current state of knowledge is as important as provision of an outlet for new knowledge, so critical and review articles are welcomed. Systematic attention to particular topics will also be featured.
