The impact of spouse health on social participation of older adults in China: Evidence from the CLHLS

Perceived family relationships and social participation through sports of urban older adults living alone: An analysis of the mediating effect of self-respect levels

“…The estimates of the level of self-respect as a mediating variable are shown in Table 5. The overall estimated results are shown in columns (1)- (3). The results in column (1) show that a significant positive correlation exists between perceived family relationships and the SPS of UOALA, with a coefficient of 0.170, indicating that the better the family relationship of UOALA, the higher the activeness in SPS.…”

“…To further explore the differential impact of cities, the regionspecific sample regression was run, as shown in Table 3. Column (1) shows the sample of UOALA in first-tier cities (Shanghai and Guangzhou); column (2) shows the sample of UOALA in second-tier cities (Dalian and Chengdu); and column (3) shows the sample of UOALA in a third-tier city (Hohhot). The results suggest that there are regional differences in the effect of perceived family relationships on the SPS of older adults living alone.…”

“…The results in column (2) show that a significant positive correlation exists between perceived family relationships and the self-respect level of UOALA, i.e., The better the perception of family relationship, the higher the level of self-respect. According to column (3) where the effects of perceived family relationships and self-respect levels on SPS were studied at the same time, selfrespect level has a positive effect on SPS, and the effect of perceived family relationships on SPS is no longer significant with the coefficient becoming smaller. Thus, self-respect levels play a major mediating role in the influence of perceived family relationships on SPS.…”

“…According to the activity theory, socializing in old age is the key to achieving longevity and mental health, and keep positive interaction with society are more likely to achieve a "successful old age" (3). As early as in the 1990s, Putnam et al (4) proposed that sports participation is an activity with social attributes as individuals expanded their interpersonal network in the process of building up their strength.…”

A study on the difference of physical exercise, manual labor and housework activities among urban and rural elderly population—— Based on CLHLS data

“…The proportion of people engaged in farming, forestry, animal husbandry, shing, water conservancy and other occupations is large, and they choose more static activities in their leisure time.Excessive physical activity is an important factor in uencing participation in physical exercise, followed by low awareness and demand for participation in physical exercise [17] . At the same time, foreign studies DingW used multiple linear regression to show mental resilience, physical activity, self-evaluation of aging, environment and social supportAnd hearing status are common factors among urban and rural elderly [18] ;YuanL believed that the self-rated health reported by urban residents was signi cantly better than that of rural residents, and that socioeconomic status and individual lifestyle were the main factors leading to the health inequality of the elderly in urban and rural China [19] .PelletierC believed that social and environmental factors seemed to be the main reason for the physical activity inequality of urban and rural residents [20] .The LiR study showed that moderate family physical activity was associated with a lower risk of new hypertension in both men and women [21] .ZhaoX believes that frequency and frequency of participation in leisure activities should be highlighted and targeted to promote successful aging [22] ;LuiM estimated that women who did more than 90 hours of physical activity per week had a 39% increased risk of hypertension [23] .ParkS identi ed cognitive function and loneliness as predictors of physical activity in rural older adults.Age, gender and depression (OR=0.799,p<.001) were important factors in predicting physical activity of the urban elderly [24] .HuangB suggested that more residential green space in rural areas was directly related to the reduction of hypertension, while no direct correlation was observed in urban areas [25] .McNaughtonSA explained socioeconomic status and measures of three levels of in uence on nutrition and physical activity behavior in the elderly [26] ;ArnadottirSA believed that most physical activities in urban and rural areas were related to housework, and rural women scored the highest [27] .PhongsavanP suggests that "vigorous family activity" contributes signi cantly to the overall prevalence level of adults meeting the "adequate" physical activity criteria, especially women [28] ;DallossoHM elderly and home-based elderly mainly engaged in outdoor production activities, indoor production activities, leisure activities and walking [29] .The relationship between individual factors and aging stereotypes was examined.The relationship between individual factors and aging stereotype was investigated [30] .ZhangN believes that there is a difference between strong intention of social participation and low participation among the elderly [31] .RenZ believed that underweight may be an important risk factor for cognitive impairment in the elderly in China [32] .L...…”
