Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship between economic level and cognitive level of the elderly, and to test the mediating effect of social participation between the two. Methods SPSS 26.0 was used for data processing. Ordinary least squares (OLS) linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between economic level, social participation and cognitive level. The mediation effect test was used to test the mediating effect of social participation between economic level and cognitive level. Results In the OLS regression model, model 2 showed that the estimation of economic level was 0.000 003 52, model 3 showed that the estimation of social participation was -0.316 907 5, and model 4 showed that the economic level was -0.000 003 39, all of which were significant at the level of 1%. The mediating effect size of social participation was 0.298 295 45, and the robustness test showed that the correlation coefficient between economic level and cognitive level orientation was 0.000 002 15, which was highly significant at the 1% level. Conclusion There is a positive correlation between the economic level and cognitive level of the elderly, and there is a positive correlation between the social participation and cognitive level of the elderly. The economic level of the elderly improves their cognitive level through the mediating effect of social participation, and the impact effect of social participation is 29.83%.
