Paper

Abstract

Leisure activities (LAs) are vital for healthy ageing and are linked to lower mortality risk in older adults. However, most previous longitudinal studies have assessed LAs at only one time point. We aimed to explore the impact of dynamic changes in LAs on subsequent all-cause mortality among older adults.

Research summary

Changes in leisure activities are associated with long-term all-cause mortality in older adults. The study addresses lifestyle factors that may influence aging and longevity, which is pertinent to understanding healthy aging and mortality risk.
