Sharma, Suresh and Chaudhary, Jyoti (Jan. 2022). Association between Time Use Behaviour and Health a

Utilizing time use data from the Longitudinal Ageing Study of India (LASI), we examine the time allocation of the elderly, looking into how much time the elderly spend on active participation and how this allocation varies according to their socio-economic and demographic context. [...] In the context of health, time use research (TUR) is the study of health-promoting and health- harming behaviours throughout the course of a 24-hour day. [...] In the second part of the analysis, logistic regression models have been used to study the association between health and wellbeing and time use categories. [...] Similarly, of the total participants, 68 percent women reported to have spent time in taking care of the children, the sick and old of their households leaving 32 percent males to have done the same. [...] One potential driver of health is the daily routine of the elderly which focuses on the nature of activities being performed by them, the duration of the activity and its intensity etc.
