Personal and Community Engagement as it Relates to Well-being

Chenming Lu and Alexa Russo

The link between personal social engagement and well-being in middle to older adults was explored using data from 560 participants in the TEALE 2.0 study. Personal social engagement was significantly associated with better overall well-being, including better activities of daily living and lower depression. Community social engagement was associated with better overall well-being but worse cognitive function. Future research is needed to explore the link between social engagement and well-being in middle to older adults
