Abstract

Abstract

Objective This study aimed to explore the impact of social participation on the health of the elderly. Methods Data of the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (CHARLS) was obtained and studied with propensity score matching method (PSM), logistic regression model and instrumental variables regression. Results The logistic regression showed that the effect of social activity participation on depression in the elderly before PSM was not statistically significant. The risk of impaired activities of daily living of the elderly who participated in social activities was 0.795 times higher than that of the elderly who did not participate in social activities (OR=0.795, 95% CI: 0.712-0.889, P < 0.001). After PSM, the elderly who participated in social activities were less likely to suffer from depression or impaired activities of daily living than the elderly who did not participate in social activities (OR=0.971, 95% CI: 0.964-0.978, P < 0.001; OR=0.689, 95% CI: 0.628-0.889, P < 0.001). The results of two-stage least squares (2SLS) regression showed that social activity participation had an inhibitory effect on depression and impairment of activities of daily living in the elderly (β=-19.622, P < 0.001; β=-3.999, P < 0.001). Conclusions Social activity participation can improve the activities of daily living of the elderly and reduce depression. Measures should be taken to improve the participation of the elderly in social activities and to promote healthy aging.
