Abstract

With the intensification of the aging of the population in China, our society has begun to pay close attention to the current situation of the elderly participating in outdoor social activities and the current status of depression. We expect to promote the mental health of the elderly by increasing the participation rate of outdoor social activities. Based on CLHLS 2018 data, this paper conducted an empirical analysis to study the effect of participating in outdoor social activities on the degree of depression in the elderly, and the results showed that: In model 1 for controlling various characteristics of the elderly, model 2 for adding personal characteristics of the elderly, and model 3 for adding personal, family and social characteristics of the elderly, it was shown that participation in outdoor social activities had a significant negative effect on the degree of depression in the elderly.
