本研究调查了成年后体力活动和主观年龄之间的预期关联，以及调节这种关联的因素。参与者是年龄从20岁到90岁的成年人(N>；10,000)，这些人来自威斯康星州纵向研究毕业生和兄弟姐妹样本、健康和退休研究以及美国中年调查。在四个样本中，在基线时评估体力活动，并在8到20年后测量主观年龄。人格、自评健康、疾病负担、抑郁症状和认知被评估为潜在的中介因素。在这四个样本中，基线时较高的体力活动与随访时较年轻的主观年龄相关。Logistic回归表明，体力活动与8到20年后感觉年轻的可能性增加了30%-50%。在四个样本中，通过开放体验和自评健康发现了显著的间接影响。这项研究为健康相关行为和主观年龄之间的联系提供了新的证据。经常运动的人可能会保持健康和开放的心理倾向，这与感觉年轻有关。
The present study examined the prospective association between physical activity and subjective age across adulthood and factors that mediate this association. Participants were adults aged from 20 to 90 years (N > 10,000) drawn from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study graduates and siblings samples, the Health and Retirement Study and the Midlife in the United States Survey. In the four samples, physical activity was assessed at baseline and subjective age was measured 8 to 20 years later. Personality, self-rated health, disease burden, depressive symptoms, and cognition were assessed as potential mediators. In the four samples, higher physical activity at baseline was associated with a younger subjective age at follow-up. Logistic regression revealed that physical activity was related to a 30-50% higher likelihood of feeling younger 8 to 20 years later. Significant indirect effects were found through openness to experience and self-rated health in the four samples. This study provides new evidence on the link between a health-related behavior and subjective age. Physically active individuals may sustain health and an open psychological disposition that is associated with feeling younger.
