Abstract

PURPOSE

We investigated the relationship between physical activity and mental health and determined the optimal amount of physical activity associated with better mental health.

METHOD

Self-reported data from a national random sample of 7674 adult respondents collected during the 2008 U.S. Health Information National Trends 2007 Survey (HINTS) were analyzed in 2012. Mental health was plotted against the number of hours of physical activity per week using a fractional 2-degree polynomial function. Demographic and physical health factors related to poorer mental health were examined. The optimal range of physical activity associated with poorer mental health was examined by age, gender, and physical health.

RESULTS

A curvilinear association was observed between physical activity and general mental health. The optimal threshold volume for mental health benefits was of 2.5 to 7.5h of weekly physical activity. The associations varied by gender, age, and physical health status. Individuals who engaged in the optimal amount of physical activity were more likely to have reported better mental health (odds ratio=1.39, p=0.006).

CONCLUSIONS

This study established a hyperbolic dose-response relationship between physical activity and general mental health, with an optimal range of 2.5 to 7.5h of physical activity per week.

摘要

目的

我们研究了身体活动与心理健康之间的关系，并确定了与更好的心理健康相关的最佳身体活动量。

方法

2012 年，对 2008 年美国健康信息国家趋势调查（HINTS）期间收集的来自全国随机抽取的 7674 名成年受访者的自我报告数据进行了分析。使用分数 2 度多项式函数，根据每周身体活动的小时数绘制心理健康图。检查了与较差心理健康相关的人口统计学和身体健康因素。按年龄、性别和身体健康状况检查了与较差心理健康相关的最佳身体活动范围。
