The line graph compares the percentages of elderly people in the US who engaged in five different leisure activities—reading, theatre, online activities, hiking, and watching TV—between 1980 and 2010\.

Overall, watching TV remained one of the most popular activities throughout the period, although it declined slightly at the end. Hiking and online activities showed the most significant increases, while theatre attendance fluctuated moderately. Reading, by contrast, experienced notable variation before ending at a relatively high level.

In 1980, watching TV was the dominant activity at around 60%, followed by theatre at 50%. Reading accounted for 30%, while hiking and online activities were much less common at 20% and 5% respectively. By 1990, reading and hiking had both risen to 40%, while TV viewing increased to 65%. Theatre participation dropped sharply to 30%, and online activity remained low at 10%.

In 2000, TV peaked at approximately 70%, whereas hiking climbed to 60%. Theatre attendance recovered to 40%, but reading declined significantly to 20%. Online activity grew modestly to about 15%. By 2010, hiking became the most popular activity at 80%, while reading rebounded sharply to 60%. Online participation rose dramatically to 50%, overtaking theatre, which increased slightly to 45%. Meanwhile, TV viewing declined to around 65%.
