摘　　要：Older adults’social participation and social relationship may be affected by their partners’cognitive function.In 3,722 cognitively intact married/partnered Health and Retirement Study respondents,latent profile analysis identified three social participation profiles(Limited overall social participation(prevalence:69%);Frequent volunteer participation(10%);Frequent non-volunteer participation(21%)),and three social relationship profiles(Social support from all relationships(68%);Mixed social support and strain from all relationships(18%);Social strain from partner with support from other relationships(14%)).Spouse/partner’s cognition was not significantly associated with social participation profiles.Impaired cognition in spouses/partners increased older adults’likelihood of perceiving social strain from their partners with support from other relationships.Frequent volunteer and non-volunteer participation and perceiving social support from all relationships predicted better self-rated health and lower odds of depressive symptoms.These findings highlight the need of community programs that promote social connectedness for older adults living with cognitively impaired spouses/partners.
