Social participation is associated with cognitive function; however, their causal relationships have not been reported yet. This study was designed to examine the autoregressive effects and bidirectional causal relationship between social participation and cognitive function. In this secondary longitudinal data analysis, we enrolled 4,834 Korean adults. A cross-lagged panel model with fixed effects was used to examine the causal relationships between social participation and cognitive function. Both participation (unstandardized coefficient = .370, < .001) and cognitive function (unstandardized coefficient = .151, < .001) had positive autoregressive effects over time. Participation had a cross-lagged effect on cognitive function (unstandardized coefficient = .061, < .001). However, the cross-lagged effects of cognitive function on participation were not statistically significant (unstandardized coefficient = .051, = .312). Various health-care programs that promote social participation and improve cognitive function must be established. Additional studies are required to confirm the causal effects of cognitive function on participation.
社会参与与认知功能相关；然而，它们之间的因果关系尚未被报道。本研究旨在检验社会参与和认知功能之间的自回归效应和双向因果关系。在这项二次纵向数据分析中，我们招募了 4834 名韩国成年人。使用具有固定效应的交叉滞后面板模型来检验社会参与和认知功能之间的因果关系。参与（未标准化系数=.370，<.001）和认知功能（未标准化系数=.151，<.001）随着时间的推移都具有积极的自回归效应。参与对认知功能有交叉滞后效应（未标准化系数=.061，<.001）。然而，认知功能对参与的交叉滞后效应在统计学上并不显著（未标准化系数=.051，=.312）。必须建立各种促进社会参与和改善认知功能的医疗保健计划。需要进一步的研究来确认认知功能对参与的因果影响。
