"Cox regressions analyzed mortality risk. Participating in only a few activities doubled mortality risk compared to those with the highest participation levels, even after controlling for age, education, walking ability, and other health indicators. Women had a dose-response relationship between overall participation and survival. Strong associations with survival were found for engagement in organizational activities and study circles among women and hobby activities and gardening among men. Results suggest gender differences in the association between leisure activities and mortality. Women display a decreasing mortality risk for each additional activity," wrote N. Agahi and colleagues, Stockholm University (see also Gender ...
