INTRODUCTION: Population aging has made healthy aging a key public health priority. This study examined the association between sport participation and healthy aging among older adults and explored its social ecological mechanisms.
METHODS: Data from 6,482 adults aged 60 years and above were analyzed. Healthy aging was measured using a multidimensional index covering physical, psychological, cognitive, social and functional domains. Multivariable regression, mediation analysis, moderation analysis, subgroup analysis and robustness checks were conducted.
RESULTS: Sport participation was positively associated with healthy aging after adjustment for demographic, socioeconomic, health-related and ecological factors. The association showed a dose-response pattern and was partly mediated by physical function, psychological resources, social support and community activity environment. Community resources strengthened this association, while stronger effects were observed among rural, low-income, less educated, older-old and living-alone groups.
DISCUSSION: The results suggest that sport participation is closely related to healthy aging through individual and social ecological pathways. Age-friendly sport environments and targeted community support may help promote healthy aging among vulnerable older adults.
