目的：评估抑郁症状和体力活动之间的关系，在一个地理和种族不同的六年级青春期女孩的样本。研究方法：青春期女孩活动试验（TAAG）的基线测量包括一个随机样本（N = 1721）的六年级女孩在36所学校在6个现场。测量方法为加速度计和3-D体力活动回忆（3DPAR）的体力活动，和流行病学中心抑郁量表（CES-D）的抑郁症状。结果如下：有完整数据的女孩（N = 1397），平均年龄12岁，平均CES-D评分为14.7（SD = 9.25），平均每天从事约460分钟的久坐活动，< 24分钟的中度至剧烈体力活动（MVPA）和< 6分钟的剧烈体力活动（VPA）。MVPA的30分钟节段数量范围为3.9至1.2，这些节段的METS范围为> 3.0至> 6.5。混合模型回归表明，抑郁症状和体力活动之间没有关系，但是，久坐活动和抑郁症状之间的显着，但适度的反比关系进行了观察。结论：一个足够的样本量，标准化的程序，并验证工具的特点，这项研究，然而，抑郁症状和体力活动之间的关系没有观察到六年级的女孩从不同的地理位置。平均CES-D评分低于认为对青少年或成人有临床意义的评分，久坐活动的MET分钟数较高。这种数据组合可能与其他研究不同，可能导致了意外结果。然而，这一意外的发现是信息丰富的，因为它表明需要进行更多的研究，包括更广泛的可能的数据组合，特别是年轻的青春期女孩。
Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between depressive symptoms and physical activity in a geographically and ethnically diverse sample of sixth-grade adolescent girls. Methods: The Trial of Activity for Adolescent Girls (TAAG) baseline measurement included a random sample (N = 1721) of sixth-grade girls in 36 schools at six field sites. Measurements were accelerometry and the 3-d Physical Activity Recall (3DPAR) for physical activity, and the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale (CES-D) for depressive symptoms. Results: Girls with complete data (N = 1397), mean age 12 yr, had an average CES-D score of 14.7 (SD = 9.25) and engaged in an average of about 460 min of sedentary activity, < 24 min of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and < 6 min of vigorous physical activity (VPA) in an 18-h day. Thirty-minute segments of MVPA ranged in number from 3.9 to 1.2, and METS for these segments ranged from > 3.0 to > 6.5. Mixed-model regression indicated no relationship between depressive symptoms and physical activity; however, a significant but modest inverse relationship between sedentary activity and depressive symptoms was observed. Conclusion: A sufficient sample size, standardized procedures, and validated instruments characterized this study; however, a relationship between depressive symptoms and physical activity was not observed for sixth-grade girls from diverse geographic locations. The average CES-D score was lower than is considered clinically meaningful for either adolescents or adults, and MET-minutes of sedentary activity were high. This combination of data may be different from other studies and could have contributed to the unexpected finding. This unexpected finding is informative, however, because it shows the need for additional research that includes a wider range of possible combinations of data, especially with young adolescent girls.
