Trajectories of social participation and risk of cognitive impairment in Chinese older adults: A six-year longitudinal study
Maintaining or increasing one's social activities was linked to a notably lower likelihood of cognitive decline. These results highlight the importance of social involvement patterns as a modifiable factor for fostering cognitive strength. Interventions to maintain or enhance participation are therefore a viable strategy for the primary prevention of cognitive decline in older adults.
