基线时积极的生活方式与后期的认知功能有何关系？为了回答这个问题，我们从中国健康与退休追踪研究（CHARLS）中提取了独特的面板数据。分析表明，整体活动量越大，记忆力和计算能力越高。活跃的有益效果因不同的活动类型和认知方面而异，但在性别方面则不然。总体而言，这些发现为中国老年人积极的生活方式与认知功能之间的关系提供了新的经验证据。
How does an active lifestyle at baseline relate to cognitive functioning in later periods ? To answer this question, we draw unique panel data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). The analysis reveals that greater overall activity is associated with higher levels of memory and numeracy. The beneficial effects of being active vary across different activity types and aspects of cognition, but not so with respect to gender. Overall, these findings provide new empirical evidence on the relationship between an active lifestyle and cognitive functioning of older people in China.
