Objective To understand the current status and influencing factors of productive engagement among community-dwelling older adults，aiming to provide reference for taking targeted measures so as to promote active aging. Methods A total of 503 community-dwelling older adults were selected by convenience sampling method. A general information questionnaire，the University of California Los Angeles Loneliness Scale，the Family APGAR Index，the Aging Self-rating Questionnaire and the Productive Engagement Scale were used to survey the respondents. Results The participants′ productive engagement score was 42.00（23.00，50.00），the score of productive engagement was negatively correlated with loneliness and aging self-rating while positively correlated with family function（all P＜0.05）. Generalized linear regression analysis showed that self-rating health status，willingness of re-employment，loneliness，family function and aging self-rating were the influencing factors of productive engagement in community-dwelling older adults（all P＜0.05）. Conclusion Community-dwelling older adults′ productive engagement is at moderate level. Relevant departments should make concrete interventions according to the associated factors to improve community-dwelling older adults′ productive engagement in order to promote active aging.
