BACKGROUND: We examined the longitudinal association between participation in individual or combinations of physical, social, and religious activity and risk of @entity308 in the elderly. METHODS: Elderly subjects aged >= 60 years who completed the Living Profiles of Older @entity1 Survey in Korea (n = 6,647) were included. The baseline assessment, @entity13830 , was conducted in 2008, and a follow-up assessment, @entity13831 , was conducted in 2011. We defined participation in frequent physical activity as >= 3 times weekly (at least 30 minutes per activity). Frequent participation in social and religious activity was defined as >= 1 activity weekly. The primary outcome was @entity308 at 3-year follow up. RESULTS: Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that subjects who participated in frequent physical, social, and religious activity had an adjusted odds ratio of 0.81 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.69-0.96), 0.87 (95% CI, 0.75-1.00), and 0.78 (95% CI, 0.67-0.90), respectively, compared with @entity1 who did not participate in each activity. @entity1 who participated in only one type of activity frequently and @entity1 who participated in two or three types of activities frequently had an adjusted odds ratio of 0.86 (95% CI, 0.75-0.98) and 0.64 (95% CI, 0.52-0.79), respectively, compared with @entity1 who did not participate in any type of physical, social, and religious activity frequently. CONCLUSION: Participation in physical, social, and religious activity was associated with decreased risk of @entity308 in the elderly. In addition, risk of @entity308 was much lower in the elderly @entity1 who participated in two or three of the above-mentioned types of activity than that in the elderly who did not.
