Article Synopsis
- Functional limitations are defined as the dependency on others to carry out everyday activities, and there's a growing connection between these limitations and cognitive abilities, although the specific reasons for this link are not fully understood.
- A study with over 16,000 middle-aged and older adults analyzed data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study to explore how social participation affects the relationship between functional limitations and cognitive decline over eight years.
- The findings suggest that social participation partially mediates the connection between functional limitations and cognitive decline, implying that staying socially active may help slow down the decline in cognitive functioning associated with increased dependency.
Drawing upon person-environment fit perspective, this study examines the joint and interactive influences of personal competence and environmental characteristics on the happiness of ageing adults around the period of COVID-19 pandemic.
