Longitudinal relationship between volunteering and cognitive functioning among older chinese immigrants in the United States.
Abstract
Research on the cognitive benefits of volunteering has largely focused on U.S.-born or general older adult populations, leaving older immigrants understudied despite evidence suggesting that volunteering may protect against cognitive decline. This study examined the longitudinal relationship between volunteering and cognitive functioning among older Chinese immigrants and whether the relationship varies by immigration-related characteristics.
