Abstract

This study was a survey research study that examined active ageing levels and investigated time use patterns of active ageing in social participation. It was conducted with 140 older persons aged 60 years and over. They met the criterion of passing the Mental State Examination: Thai version (MMSE-Thai 2002). After that, they were examined using an active ageing questionnaire. The time use patterns of active ageing in the social participation of older persons were investigated using a time diary. The results showed that most of the older persons were at the moderate level (AAI=0.79). Investigation of time use patterns found that older persons with the same proportion of high and moderate active ageing levels spent more time in social participation than those with a low active ageing level. Social participation is essential for old age. It is one of the most important key indicators for active ageing that relates to good health and well-being for the elderly. Therefore, promoting a balance in activities that comprise health, social participation and security could bring about active ageing in elderly people.
