Key Points

The research aims to examine the mediating effect of subjective health in the longitudinal relationship between social participation and cognitive function.
Utilized data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA) from 2014 to 2020.
Analyzed a sample of 2,956 older adults aged 65 years and above.
Employed a parallel latent growth model to estimate initial levels and change rates of social participation, subjective health, and cognitive function.
Verified the significance of the mediating effect using the bootstrapping method.
Significant trajectory changes in social participation and cognitive function over time were observed.
Older adults with higher social participation tended to maintain relatively higher cognitive function levels.
Changes in social participation indirectly affected cognitive function changes through variations in subjective health, confirming a partial mediating effect of subjective health.

Demonstrates the mediating effect of subjective health on cognitive function in older adults, suggesting its significance in successful aging.
