AIM
To examine the effect of regular ongoing exercise lifestyle on mental and physical health in a group of independent community-dwelling Taiwanese older adults over a 2-year period.
METHODS
197 older adults (mean age 72.5 years; 106 men and 91 women) who were independent in walking, instrumental and basic activities of daily living completed the baseline and a 2-year follow-up assessment. Older adults regularly performing exercises during the 2-year study period were grouped into regular exercise group; otherwise in the irregular exercise group. Baseline and follow-up assessments included a face-to-face interview and a battery of performance tests.
RESULTS
The regular exercise group showed significantly less depression (P = 0.03) and tended to regress less on the performance tests (P = 0.025-0.410) across 2 years compared to the irregular exercise group.
CONCLUSION
Regular exercise is important for maintaining or even improving mental and functional health, even for independent community-dwelling older adults.
目的
在两年时间里，研究持续规律的运动生活方式对一组居住在社区的台湾独立老年人身心健康的影响。
方法
197名能独立行走、进行工具性日常生活活动和基本日常生活活动的老年人（平均年龄72.5岁；男性106名，女性91名）完成了基线评估和为期两年的随访评估。在两年研究期间定期进行锻炼的老年人被归为规律运动组；否则归为不规律运动组。基线评估和随访评估包括面对面访谈和一系列性能测试。
结果
与不规律运动组相比，规律运动组在两年间抑郁症状明显减轻（P = 0.03），并且在性能测试中的退步趋势较小（P = 0.025 - 0.410）。
结论
规律运动对于维持甚至改善身心健康很重要，即使对于居住在社区的独立老年人也是如此。
