This study sought to evaluate the relationship between baseline depression and prospective engagement in walking and exercise behavior after enrollment in an exercise intervention.
The study used baseline, 1-month, 12-month, and 24-month in-person interview and pedometer data collected from Latinos aged >60 years participating in an exercise intervention (¡Caminemos!) at 27 senior centers (n = 572).
After joining an exercise intervention, and when using continuous pedometer data and scores from the Yale Physical Activity Survey (YPAS) as the outcomes of interest, older adults with baseline depression exhibited comparable levels of physical activity across time when compared to their nondepressed counterparts. Significant difference in physical activity levels between the depressed and nondepressed subgroups no longer existed within one month of initiating the exercise intervention.
Among sedentary older Latino adults, having depression may not delay exercise initiation nor does it appear to prevent achievement or maintenance of an exercise program.
本研究旨在评估基线抑郁与参加锻炼干预后的步行和锻炼行为的前瞻性参与之间的关系。
该研究使用基线、1 个月、12 个月和 24 个月的面对面访谈和计步器数据，这些数据来自参加锻炼干预（¡Caminemos！）的年龄在 60 岁以上的拉丁裔成年人，该干预在 27 个老年人中心进行（n=572）。
加入锻炼干预后，当使用连续计步器数据和耶鲁体力活动调查（YPAS）的分数作为感兴趣的结果时，与无抑郁的同龄人相比，基线抑郁的老年人在整个时间内的身体活动水平相当。在开始锻炼干预一个月内，抑郁亚组和非抑郁亚组之间的身体活动水平不再存在显著差异。
在久坐不动的拉丁裔老年成年人中，抑郁可能不会延迟锻炼的开始，也似乎不会阻止锻炼计划的实施或维持。
