对于老年人来说，休闲活动是一种有助于保持健康和参与生活的资源。本文调查了10年来瑞典老年人参与休闲活动的水平的变化，以及与这些变化相关的因素。这些数据来自1992年和2002年瑞典77岁以上人口的全国代表性样本。后来，参与水平有所提高，在四大类活动中，社会和文化活动增加最多，而体力和智力活动只在妇女中增加。有序逻辑回归使参与水平的变化，年龄，性别，教育水平，残疾和疲劳被描述。参加大多数活动，包括总体活动，在年轻人（70岁后期和80岁初期）和行动能力强、受教育程度高的人中更为普遍。由于2002年的平均健康状况比1992年更差，这不能解释参与率较高的原因。其他可能的解释，如队列差异，改善可及性，改变性别角色，以及健康促进计划的影响进行了讨论。
For the older individual, leisure activities are a resource that helps to maintain health and engagement with lire. This article investigates change over 10 years ill the level of participation of older people in leisure activities in Sweden, and the factors associated with these changes. The data are from nationally representative samples of the Swedish population aged 77 or more years in 1992 and 2002. The level of participation was higher at the later date, and among four major groups of activities, social and Cultural activities increased the most, while physical and intellectual activities increased only among women. Ordered logistic regressions enable variations in the level of participation by age, gender, level of education, disability and fatigue to be described. Participation in most kinds of activities, including the overall level, was more common at the younger ages (the late seventies and early eighties) and among those with full mobility and more education. Since average health was worse in 2002 than in 1992, it cannot explain the higher level of participation. Other possible explanations, Such as cohort differences, improved accessibility, and changing gender roles, and the implications for health promotion programmes are discussed.
