Importance Of Leisure During Aging: Prevalence Of Participation In Meaningful Activities For Older Adults With And Without Pain

Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. This study describes the prevalence of leisure participation for older adults with and without pain. The results show that older adults may not be participating in a variety of leisure, but mostly in passive activities, such as watching television. Those with pain participate in leisure significantly less than those without pain. The results of this study enhance OTs' knowledge of leisure prioritization and participation among older adults.
