To investigate the association between lifetime leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and depressive symptoms (DS) based on the population-based FIN-D2D cross-sectional survey conducted in 2007.
Nine hundred twenty seven randomly selected Finnish men and women aged 65-74 years were included in this study. DS were determined with the Beck Depression Inventory (≥10 points), and lifetime historical LTPA frequency from age 15 years onwards was recalled retrospectively.
The frequency of LTPA was highest at the ages of 15-24 years in both the DS present and not present groups (14.6 times per month). LTPA frequency was significantly lower among those with DS compared with those without DS at the age of 45-54 (10.0 vs. 11.3, p=0.041), 55-64 (9.6 vs. 12.6, p<0.001), and 65-74 (8.6 vs. 11.9, p<0.001). Also the prevalence of somatic diseases was higher for those with DS compared with participants without DS.
This study reveals lifetime LTPA variation and its potential consequences. The relationship found between reduced lifetime LTPA and the occurrence of DS suggest that promoting LTPA throughout one's lifetime would be beneficial in terms of DS and somatic diseases in older age.
基于 2007 年进行的基于人群的 FIN-D2D 横断面调查，研究终生休闲时间体力活动（LTPA）与抑郁症状（DS）之间的关联。
本研究纳入了 927 名年龄在 65-74 岁的芬兰随机选择的男性和女性。DS 采用贝克抑郁量表（≥10 分）确定，终生历史 LTPA 频率从 15 岁起进行回顾性回忆。
在 DS 存在和不存在的组中，LTPA 的频率在 15-24 岁时最高（每月 14.6 次）。与无 DS 者相比，45-54 岁（10.0 比 11.3，p=0.041）、55-64 岁（9.6 比 12.6，p<0.001）和 65-74 岁（8.6 比 11.9，p<0.001）时，DS 患者的 LTPA 频率显著较低。此外，DS 患者的躯体疾病患病率也高于无 DS 患者。
本研究揭示了终生 LTPA 的变化及其潜在后果。发现 LTPA 减少与 DS 发生之间的关系表明，在整个生命周期中促进 LTPA 可能有益于老年人的 DS 和躯体疾病。
