抑郁症是世界上一个常见的公共卫生问题。老年人的抑郁症似乎遵循脆弱性-压力模型，个体脆弱性之间存在相互作用，包括遗传因素、与年龄相关的认知和神经生物学变化，以及在高龄时更频繁发生的各种压力事件，例如悲伤、财务问题和自主/功能下降。在过去的几十年中，多项研究表明，运动可以有效预防或减少健康人群和精神病人群的抑郁症状。由于科学界对体育锻炼作为老年抑郁症患者补充疗法的有效性和安全性感兴趣，我们对此主题进行了一项意见研究。尽管研究人员做出了努力，但在过去的几十年里，在验证运动对老年抑郁症的疗效方面几乎没有取得任何进展。
Depression represents a common public health problem in the world. Depression in the elderly appears to follow a vulnerability-stress model, with an interaction between individual vulnerabilities, including genetic factors, age-related cognitive and neurobiological changes, and a variety of stressful events that occur more frequently in advanced ages, such as grief, financial problems, and reduction in autonomy/functionality. In the last decades, several studies have indicated that exercise can be effective in preventing or reducing depressive symptoms, both in healthy and psychiatric populations. Due to the scientific community's interest in the efficacy and safety of physical exercise as complementary therapy for depressed elderly patients, we conduct an opinion study on the subject. Despite the researchers' efforts, in the last decades little progress has been made in verifying the efficacy of exercise in geriatric depression.
