Effect of leisure activity on frailty trajectories among Chinese older adults: a 16-year longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While the significant association between leisure activities and frailty risk among older adults is well-established, the impact of integrated leisure activity scores and different categories of them on frailty trajectories over time remains unclear.

Methods

This study utilized longitudinal data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), which enrolled participants aged 65 years and older between 2002 and 2018.
