摘要

Background

The relationship between social activities and cardiovascular health has garnered widespread attention, but the specific associations of different types of social activities across various populations remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the correlation between different social activities and the likelihood of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including heart disease, stroke, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.

Methods

This study utilized data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) to analyze the longitudinal associations between social activities and CVDs. Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to assess the link between different social activities and CVD outcomes, with stratified and sensitivity analyses conducted to verify the robustness of the results.

Results

A total of 38,684 observations were included, with an average follow-up period of five years. The analysis revealed that activities such as fitness and dancing were significantly associated with lower odds of stroke (OR = 0.75 [95% CI: 0.60, 0.94], p = 0.01). Conversely, playing mahjong, participating in social groups, and engaging in volunteer work were associated with higher odds of heart disease and dyslipidemia. Mahjong was linked to a higher likelihood of heart disease (OR = 1.10 [95% CI: 1.02, 1.19], p = 0.02), while social group participation was associated with an increased likelihood of dyslipidemia (OR = 1.59 [95% CI: 1.34, 1.89], p < 0.01). Stratified analyses revealed significant variations in these associations across different populations, such as higher odds of heart disease among women and drinkers who engaged in fitness and dancing.

Conclusion

This study highlights the complex associations between social activities and cardiovascular health, emphasizing the need for personalized and context-specific health intervention strategies. Future research should further explore the multidimensional effects of social behaviors on cardiovascular health to provide more precise guidance for disease prevention and management.
