The purpose of this study was to investigate the longitudinal impact of different levels of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) participation on positive and negative affect among older foreign-born adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
This study used 2012 to 2020 data from the Health and Retirement Study data (n = 1206) that was analyzed using repeated measured multivariate analysis of covariance.
The high-level participation LTPA group reported higher positive affect and lower negative affect than the mid and low-level participation groups. The mid-level LTPA group also reported higher positive and lower negative affect than the low-level LTPA group.
This study provides evidence that high levels of LTPA participation contribute to an increase in positive affect and a reduction of negative affect among older foreign-born adults with MCI. The findings of this study will help fill the gap in research on the longitudinal relationship between levels of LTPA participation and positive and negative affect among older foreign-born adults.
本研究旨在调查不同水平的闲暇时间体力活动(LTPA)参与对轻度认知障碍(MCI)老年外国出生成年人积极和消极影响的纵向影响。
本研究使用了 2012 年至 2020 年健康与退休研究数据(n=1206),并使用重复测量多元方差分析进行了分析。
高水平参与 LTPA 组报告的积极影响高于中低水平参与组,消极影响低于中低水平参与组。中水平 LTPA 组也报告了比低水平 LTPA 组更高的积极影响和更低的消极影响。
本研究提供了证据表明,高水平的 LTPA 参与有助于增加 MCI 老年外国出生成年人的积极影响,减少消极影响。本研究的结果将有助于填补关于 LTPA 参与水平与老年外国出生成年人积极和消极影响之间纵向关系的研究空白。
