Relationship of Activity and Social Support to the Functional Health of Older Adults
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: According to J. W. Rowe and R. L. Kahn (1997), successful aging is the combination of low probability of disease, high functioning, and active engagement with life. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between active engagement with life and functioning in a convenience sample of community-dwelling adults aged 65 and older. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 244 members of an organization for older adults were mailed a survey containing the Activity Checklist and the Social Support Inventory as measures of engagement with life and the SF-12 Health Survey as a measure of functioning. RESULTS: Hierarchical linear regression showed that maintenance of instrumental, social, and high-demand leisure activities was associated with higher physical health scores and maintenance of low-demand leisure activities was associated with lower physical health scores. Maintenance of low-demand leisure activities was associated with higher mental health scores. DISCUSSION: If changes in potentially modifiable risk factors such as activity are associated with the beginning of functional decline, early intervention may be possible before disability ensues, thus reducing the risk of disability and ultimately health care costs.

TL;DR
In a cross-sectional survey of 244 community-dwelling older adults, maintenance of instrumental, social, and high-demand leisure activities was associated with better physical health, while low-demand leisure activities were associated with worse physical health but better mental health. Social support was not independently associated with functioning when activity variables were included.
Key findings
- The physical health model accounted for 30.2% of variance (*p* = .0001); activity and social support added 25.5% beyond controls. Male gender (β = .16, *p* = .013), instrumental activities (β = .19, *p* = .006), social activities (β = .30, *p* = .0001), and high-demand leisure activities (β = .30, *p* = .0001) were positively associated with physical health; low-demand leisure activities were negatively associated (β = −.19, *p* = .015).
- The mental health model accounted for 18.1% of variance (*p* = .0001); activity and social support added 14.7% beyond controls. Only maintenance of low-demand leisure activities was independently associated with higher mental health (β = .31, *p* = .0001).
- Social support was not associated with functioning in this study.
- Participants were primarily White (97.5%) and female (75%), with mean age 73 (*SD* = 5.3, range 65–89); 56.6% were married, 45% were college graduates, and 10.2% had incomes below $15,000.
Methods
- Cross-sectional mailed survey of 244 members of OASIS, an organization for older adults. Of 1,007 questionnaires mailed, 23 were undeliverable, leaving 984 as the denominator; 697 were returned (71% response rate). A social support measure was added midway through data collection, and analyses used the 244 participants who completed it and other measures.
- Measures included a 55-item Activity Checklist with instrumental, social, high-demand leisure, and low-demand leisure subscales; a 17-item Social Support Inventory assessing directive/nondirective and emotional/instrumental support; and the SF-12 Health Survey for physical and mental health functioning.
- Two hierarchical linear regression models used SF-12 physical and mental health subscales as dependent variables. Age, gender, income, and marital status were entered first as controls; activity and social support variables were entered second.
Limitations
- Stated: the sample was a random selection of members of an older adult organization but not representative of community-dwelling older adults; it was primarily White, well-educated, in good health, and high income, with few lower-income participants. Age was not associated with functioning, possibly due to the restricted, healthy sample.
- Stated: cross-sectional data confine the study to describing associations; the authors cannot determine whether activity engagement leads to better functioning or whether functioning influences activity levels.
- Evident: functioning was measured by mailed self-report SF-12 rather than a performance measure, and the social support measure was added midway through data collection, reducing the analytic sample to 244.

The authors state this as an assumption.
Activity is a potentially modifiable factor that can be changed by intervention.
“What we have found in this study are potentially modifiable factors associated with functioning that could enhance successful aging.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The 244 participants who completed the social support measure are representative of the larger sample of respondents.
“A measure of perceived social support was added to the survey midway through data collection.Our analyses were conducted with the 244 participants who completed this and other measures.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
Few studies have included both activity and social support, and none have included social, instrumental, and leisure activities together.
“Few researchers have included both activity and social support when examining the relationship between engagement with life and functioning in older adults, and to our knowledge no studies have included social, instrumental, and leisure activities together.”

Conclusion overstates which activities were associated with mental health
MajorThe conclusion says social, leisure, and instrumental activities were associated with better physical and mental health. The results say that only low-demand leisure activity was independently associated with increased mental health.
“Maintenance of social, leisure, and instrumental activities was associated with better functioning in terms of both physical and mental health, although low-demand leisure activities may differentially affect health.”
“Only maintenance of low-demand leisure activities (  ϭ .31,p ϭ .0001),however, was independently associated with increased mental health.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
