This study was undertaken in view of the large and growing numbers of retired persons in the People's Republic of China; the dearth of information about how they spend their time; and the importance of such knowledge in guiding city reform and accomplishing the Four Modernizations and the future cause. The discretionary-activity patterns and rates, the importance of these activities, and their perceived impact upon the health of 551 retired persons and 100 employed workers in Shanghai were compared in order to investigate the role of retirement in China. To assess similarities and differences between retired persons in China and in the West, the activity patterns and rates of retired Chinese adults were compared with retired adults in two samples from the United States (352 from San Antonio and 899 from San Francisco).
鉴于中华人民共和国退休人员数量众多且不断增加；缺乏关于他们如何打发时间的信息；以及此类知识在指导城市改革、实现四个现代化和未来事业方面的重要性，开展了本研究。为了调查退休在中国所起的作用，对上海551名退休人员和100名在职人员的自主活动模式和频率、这些活动的重要性及其对健康的感知影响进行了比较。为了评估中国和西方退休人员之间的异同，将中国退休成年人的活动模式和频率与来自美国的两个样本（来自圣安东尼奥的352人和来自旧金山的899人）中的退休成年人进行了比较。
