Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals associations between social participation, psychological well-being, indicating barriers among older adults with dementia.

Key Points

  • Increased social participation improves psychological well-being among older adults, despite dementia status impacting participation rates.
  • Higher education, larger social networks, and neighborhood cohesion contribute to facilitating social participation in older adults.
  • Barriers including health-related issues, transportation, and vision impairment restrict social participation for individuals with dementia.
  • Mediation effects of social networks and depressive/anxiety symptoms show significant links between social participation and well-being in this population.
