这项研究调查了1.151名居住在日本社区的成年人的体力活动和抑郁症状之间的关系。体力活动是用计步器测量的，而抑郁症状是用流行病学研究中心抑郁量表评估的。采用交叉滞后面板设计的结构方程模型显示，对于老年人(65-79岁)，即使在调整混杂因素后，每天在基线上行走也预示着2年后抑郁症状较少。相比之下，这种关联并未被证实适用于中年人(40-岁)。研究结果表明，在估计体育活动对心理健康的影响时，应该考虑年龄。
This study examined associations between physical activity and depressive symptoms in 1.151 community-dwelling adults in Japan. Physical activity was measured using a pedometer, whereas depressive symptoms were assessed with the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale. A structural equation modeling with a cross-lagged panel design revealed that for the older adults (65-79 years of age), daily walking at baseline predicted fewer depressive symptoms at the 2-year follow-up, even after adjusting for confounders. In contrast, the association was not confirmed for the middle-aged adults (40-64 years of age). Findings suggest that age should be considered when estimating the effect of physical activity on psychological well-being.
