Abstract
|
|
|
Using data on 1,472 adults 65 or older living alone who participated in a 2019 time use study, we attempted to understand the relationship between their leisure activities and their satisfaction with them. We found elderly people spent most of their daily time on media use. Furthermore, these elderly females and males mainly spent their leisure time alone. It would cause social isolation and depression. This study shows that in older adults, leisure activity type affects leisure satisfaction.
Leisure satisfaction for both males and females in the elderly was higher when they were sharing leisure activities with others such as friends or neighbors. This study suggests that the local social system should be developed to support the elderly with various leisure programs and opportunities to help them build up relationships in the community.
