Key Points Question What is the minimal dose of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) associated with a reduced risk of depression and depressive symptoms in older adults (aged ≥50 years) with and without chronic disease?
Findings
In this cohort study among 4016 older adults, at each of the included time points across a 10-year period, a negative dose-response association was observed between MVPA dose and depressive symptoms and major depression.
Meaning
The findings of this study suggest that a lower dose of MVPA than recommended from guidelines for overall health may be associated with a lower risk of depression among older adults.
I love how if you tell this to certain people, they will simply dismiss these results as not being accurate.
And yet to me, it seems like one of the most common sense why did we even need a study type topic. People really do gotta touch some grass.
100% but miserly LOVES company and people hate breaking out of their rut. They rather disregard legit studies than trying to change.
