近年来，全球患有精神障碍的老年人数量不断增加。这项研究的目的是检验一项由锻炼计划组成的干预措施的效果，以改善社区老年人的心理健康。这项研究招募的参与者是60岁的社区居住的老年人，他们参加了日本鹿儿川的一个全面的健康促进计划。干预组的参与者接受了一项使用Thera-Band为老年人开发的锻炼计划。为了测量参与者的心理健康状况，使用了情绪状态简表(POMS-SF)的日本版本。测量应激标志物，如唾液皮质醇、α-淀粉酶和SIgA水平。所有参与者在基线和6个月的随访时提供唾液样本并完成心理问卷调查。在基线时，干预组和对照组之间在POMS-SF评分和唾液生物标记物特征方面没有显著差异。干预后，干预组的POMS-SF“疲劳”评分和皮质醇水平显著降低。对照组无明显变化。在接受常规运动干预的受试者中，观察到疲劳感和皮质醇水平的同步变化。需要进一步的研究来调查运动干预在改善老年人心理健康方面的有效性。
In recent years, there have been an increasing number of older adults who suffer from mental disorders globally. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of an intervention that consisted of an exercise program to improve the mental health of community-dwelling older adults. The recruited participants of this study were community-dwelling older adults aged ≥60 years who participated in a comprehensive health promotion program in Kakogawa, Japan. Participants in the intervention group received an exercise program that was developed for older adults using Thera-Band. To measure participants’ mental health status, a Japanese version of the short form of the Profile of Mood States (POMS-SF) was used. Stress markers were measured, such as salivary cortisol, alpha-amylase, and sIgA levels. All participants provided salivary samples and completed psychological questionnaires at baseline and 6-month follow-up. No significant differences were observed between the intervention and control groups with respect to POMS-SF score and salivary biomarker profile at baseline. After the intervention, the intervention group showed a significant decrease in the POMS-SF “fatigue” score and cortisol level. No significant changes were observed in the control group. Simultaneous changes in feelings of fatigue and cortisol levels were observed among subjects who had received the intervention of regular exercise. Further research is needed to investigate the effectiveness of exercise intervention in improving mental health among older adults.
