Abstract: Using data from China Longitudinal Ageing Social Survey conducted in 2016, we perform binary logistic regression model to analyze the relationship between physical exercises and social participation of Chinese older adults. The structural equation modeling is used to estimate the mediating effects of subjective and objective health. Results suggest that frequent physical exercises significantly increase the probability of older adults’ social participation. Physical exercises affect social participation in both direct and indirect ways through health. The influence of physical exercises on social participation is different between urban and rural older adults, and is also moderated by age and marital status. This paper confirms the positive effects of physical exercises on older adults, and provides theoretical basis and policy implications for promoting the integrated development of sports and pension, and realizing active ageing and healthy China.

摘要： 以积极老龄化理论和健康需求模型为研究框架，基于2016年中国老年社会追踪调查数据，运用二分类Logistic回归模型对中国老年人体育锻炼和社会参与之间的关系进行探析，并利用结构方程模型考察了主客观健康在上述关系中的中介作用及其机制。研究发现，经常进行体育锻炼会显著提升老年人社会参与的可能性；体育锻炼对老年人社会参与的影响包括直接效应和间接效应，健康在其中起到显著的中介作用；体育锻炼对社会参与的影响在城乡老年人间存在差异，同时也受年龄和婚姻状况的调节作用；进一步证实了体育锻炼给老年人带来的积极社会效应，为推动体育与养老融合发展，实现积极老龄化、健康中国的战略提供了理论依据和政策启示。
