The authors explored associations among types of physical activity and hopelessness, depression, and suicidal behavior among college students.
Participants included 43,499 college students aged 18 to 25 who completed the 2005 National College Health Assessment conducted by the American College Health Association.
The authors used logistic regression modeling to compare the odds of experiencing hopelessness, depression, and suicidal behavior in students who engaged in various levels of aerobic and strength or toning activity with students who did not perform these activities.
Men and women who engaged in some physical activity each week demonstrated a reduced risk of hopelessness, depression, and suicidal behavior compared with their inactive counterparts.
This study provides empirical evidence that establishes the association between physical activity, especially aerobic activity, and reduced risk of hopelessness, depression, and suicidal behavior among college students.
作者探讨了大学生体育活动类型与绝望感、抑郁及自杀行为之间的关联。
参与者包括43499名年龄在18至25岁之间的大学生,他们完成了由美国大学健康协会进行的2005年全国大学生健康评估。
作者使用逻辑回归模型,比较参与不同水平有氧运动、力量训练或塑形活动的学生与未进行这些活动的学生出现绝望感、抑郁及自杀行为的几率。
与不运动的同龄人相比,每周进行一定体育活动的男性和女性出现绝望感、抑郁及自杀行为的风险降低。
本研究提供了实证证据,证实了体育活动,尤其是有氧运动,与大学生绝望感、抑郁及自杀行为风险降低之间的关联。
