Sedentary behavior has been linked to many physical and mental health disorders including heightened risk for depression. Methadone-maintained individuals are at increased risk for depression and have been shown to be physically active at lower rates than the general population.
We assessed the relationship between sitting time, physical activity, and depression in a group of 315 methadone-maintained smokers.
Mean participant age was 39.9 years of age, 49.5% were male, and 79.4% were non-Hispanic White. The mean time reported sitting each day was 320.4 minutes and the mean CES-D depression score was 12.0. After controlling for background characteristics, physical function, and physical activity, depression was significantly and positively related to sitting time.
Interventions to decrease time spent sitting and increase physical activity could have important benefits for the mental health of methadone-maintained individuals. This population is often underserved and suffers disproportionately from limited physical and mental health functioning, making them an ideal population for low-cost interventions to reduce sitting time and/or increase physical activity to improve well-being.
久坐行为与许多身心健康问题有关，包括患抑郁症的风险增加。接受美沙酮维持治疗的个体患抑郁症的风险更高，且已被证明其身体活动率低于普通人群。
我们评估了315名接受美沙酮维持治疗的吸烟者的久坐时间、身体活动与抑郁症之间的关系。
参与者的平均年龄为39.9岁，49.5%为男性，79.4%为非西班牙裔白人。报告的每天平均久坐时间为320.4分钟，平均CES-D抑郁评分是12.0。在控制了背景特征、身体功能和身体活动后，抑郁症与久坐时间显著正相关。
减少久坐时间和增加身体活动的干预措施可能对接受美沙酮维持治疗的个体的心理健康有重要益处。这一人群往往得不到充分的服务，在身心健康功能受限方面遭受的痛苦尤为严重，这使他们成为低成本干预措施的理想人群，这些措施旨在减少久坐时间和/或增加身体活动以改善健康状况。
