“…People are no longer satisfied with experiencing short-term, monotonous rewards; instead, they prefer pursuing the long-lasting and multidimensional benefits achieved as they progress in leisure participation ( Zhou et al, 2017 ). Previous literatures documented the benefits of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) among working adults, clinical populations, deprived communities, children, and older people ( Guicciardi et al, 2019 ; Paggi et al, 2016 ; Wiese et al, 2018 ; Won et al, 2020 ). Under such circumstances, LTPA has rapidly become one of the top choices among many different groups of people pursuing a healthy life.…”

et al. 2020

The topics of serious leisure and subjective well-being have been discussed extensively in previous research. It is generally acknowledged that people prefer to experience deeper satisfaction and happiness through serious participation in leisure-time physical activities. However, it is essential to examine the relationship between serious leisure and subjective well-being in an urban setting as well as the mediating effect of leisure satisfaction. Data were collected from 447 recreational runners at the 2018 Wuxi International Marathon event in China. The study results showed that serious leisure was positively associated with leisure satisfaction and subjective well-being, that leisure satisfaction was positively associated with subjective well-being, and that leisure satisfaction completely mediated the relationship between serious leisure and subjective well-being. Running group membership significantly affected the path from serious leisure to leisure satisfaction, while other demographic variables (e.g., gender and education) did not moderate any paths. These results help explain the intricate relationship between serious leisure and subjective well-being and offer theoretical and managerial implications for serious leisure.

“…Also, for older adults with poor mobility, the WHO recommends 3 days or more per week of physical activity to enhance balance and prevent falls. However, the physical activity practice rate of the older adults in Korea is low, not even reaching 50% of the target [ 16 ]. In addition, Koreans have exceeded the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) average life expectancy, and the life expectancy of Korean females is 85.4 years [ 17 ].…”

The purpose of this study was to compare sociodemographic factors, health factors and nutritional status according to the physical activity of older women, and to analyze the factors affecting their quality of life. The subjects of this study were 5661 older women aged 60 or older who participated in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES) from 2008 to 2013. The socioeconomic factors, subjective health status and disease status, lifestyle and dietary quality, and life quality were compared among two groups (active group and inactive group). The inactive group had significantly higher rates of obesity and unemployment, comorbidities, numbers without spouses, experiencing stress, poor subjective health status, depression or suicidal thoughts, and also higher rates of skipping meals. The life quality index and dietary quality was also significantly lower in the inactive group, and subjects experienced significantly higher pain or discomfort and problems in mobility and the usual activities. The results of multivariate analysis after adjusting for age in groups engaging in physical activities showed the life quality index to increase in accordance with the diet quality, economic income, and education level. It was confirmed that life quality was significantly low if the participant showed a poor subjective health evaluation, obese with many diseases, spouseless, and experienced high levels of stress. Considering the rapid aging and high life expectancy of women, regular physical activity is very important for maintaining health and improving the life quality of older women, and it is believed that comprehensive attention and management of lifestyle and diet quality are necessary.

“…Productive time-use means active lifestyle and involvement in various activities, such as physical exercise, hobbies, social, and leisure activities. Past studies have shown that practicing an active lifestyle by participating in physical activity and social activities are associated with better cognitive function [ 8 , 9 ], higher wellbeing [ 10 , 11 ], and lower depressive symptoms [ 12 , 13 ] in older adults.…”

Time-use of older adults can be different than in earlier life, especially during the transition from pre- to post-retirement or after experiencing major life events, and the changes could affect their mental health. However, the extent and nature of such research in gerontology have not been examined to date. Therefore, this scoping review sought to map the literature on time-use and mental health in the older population to examine the extent and nature of those research activities. A scoping review was conducted using four databases—PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and EMBASE according to PRISMA guidelines. Data were extracted using a pretested tool to develop a descriptive analysis and thematic summary. A total of 11 articles met the eligibility criteria. Seven out of 11 studies involved cross-sectional design, while the remainder were longitudinal studies. The longitudinal studies mainly were secondary data analysis. Time-use data were mainly collected using daily diaries, and the most common mental health outcome included was depression. Only two studies did not evaluate the direct relationship between time-use and mental health. Our review has revealed studies evaluating time-use and mental health in older adults. Limitations of review and recommendations for future studies are discussed.
