Abstract

It is critical to age successfully for general health considering the aging of the global population. Successful aging is an important indicator to assess whether older individuals are experiencing a healthy life and high-quality aging. This study aimed to explore the longitudinal relationship between the frequency and number of participation in leisure activities and the maintenance of successful aging.

Research summary

The paper explores the relationship between leisure activities and successful aging, which is relevant to understanding factors that contribute to healthy aging. However, it primarily focuses on observational data rather than addressing root causes of aging or lifespan extension. The findings may provide useful insights into lifestyle factors associated with aging, but the overall impact on the field of longevity research is limited.
