ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
This study aimed to investigate the dual trajectories of social participation (SP) and depression among older adults, and explore common factors that may influence both trajectories.METHODS:
The study utilized data from four waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS, 2011 to 2018). The dual-trajectory model was employed to estimate the dual trajectories of SP and depression.RESULTS:
This study identified two SP and three depression trajectories. The results revealed that the reciprocal relationship between SP and depression trajectories is confirmed in all sub-groups of the dual trajectories. Our study identified six distinct sub-groups of individuals based on their SP and depression trajectories and some commen risk factors of SP and depression trajectories.CONCLUSIONS:
Related intervention policies should consider the dual trajectories of SP and depression and focus on subgroups with high vulnerability, such as high depression but low SP. Additionally, attention should be given to addressing the common risk factors that underlie these trajectories.Palavras-chave
