“…Social contact relates to how individuals incorporate social activities into their daily lives, including religious groups, volunteering, political groups, and sports or recreational groups, and is considered one of the main components of social capital 30 . In fact, studies have suggested the association between self-rated health and the individual's level of social contact, indicating that this construct may be a benefit of maintaining good health, providing emotional support, personal fulfillment, and access to information on healthy lifestyles, besides protecting against the negative effects of social isolation 30 . Social activities can modulate individuals' daily lives, facilitating healthy choices and encouraging them to avoid risky behaviors 30 .…”

“…In general, activity and time-spending patterns change when people grow older [5][6][7][8]. Older individuals have more difficulty performing daily activities and perceive more participation restrictions in daily life such as mobility outside the home and interpersonal interactions [9].…”

Purpose. To assess the degree of participation of the visually impaired elderly and to make a comparison with populationbased reference data. Method. This cross-sectional study included visually impaired elderly persons (55 years; n ¼ 173) who were referred to a low-vision rehabilitation centre. Based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) participation in: (1) domestic life, (2) interpersonal interactions and relationships, (3) major life areas, and (4) community, social and civic life was assessed by means of telephone interviews. In addition, we assessed perceived participation restrictions.Results. Comparison with reference data of the elderly showed that visually impaired elderly persons participated less in heavy household activities, recreational activities and sports activities. No differences were found for the interpersonal interactions and relationships domain. Participants experienced restrictions in household activities (84%), socializing (53%), paid or voluntary work (92%), and leisure activities (88%). Conclusions. Visually impaired elderly persons participate in society, but they participate less than their peers. They experience restrictions as a result of vision loss. These findings are relevant, since participation is an indicator for successful aging and has a positive influence on health and subjective well-being.

“…In addition, participating in social activities is likely to decrease the risk of physical/cognitive function decline and the risk of dementia [4,5]. In Korea, positive health outcomes from participating in social activities were found to be relatively large in a group of older adults compared to other age groups [6]. Older adults who participate in more social activities including religious and leisure activities tend to have better cognitive function [7], and those who participated in more alumni and public activities were likely to report better subjective well-being [8].…”

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the reciprocal causal relationship between social activities and health with reference to the cognitive function level among community-dwelling older adults. Methods: We conducted a longitudinal data analysis using the 4 th (Time 1) and 5 th (Time 2) waves from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing adopting cross-lagged panel analysis (CLPA). Results: A total of 3,473 community-dwelling older adults were included in the analysis: 2,053 in the normal cognitive function group, 912 in the mild cognitive impairment group, and 508 in the moderate to severe cognitive impairment group. The CLPA revealed that higher levels of social activities at Time 1 significantly influenced better subjective health perception at Time 2 in all three groups. In addition, better subjective health perception at Time 1 significantly influenced higher levels of social activities at time 2 only in the normal cognitive function group. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that participating in social activities has positive effects on health regardless of the cognitive function level in community-dwelling older adults. This finding suggests that there is a need to develop strategies that can be used to encourage older adults with cognitive decline to maintain participation in social activities.
