Analyse the relationship between different levels of physical activity (PA) and depression symptoms in a representative sample of European older adults. Data on PA, depression symptoms and sociodemographic variables from 64688 (28015 men) older adults participating in SHARE wave 6 was collected through a face-to-face interview. The EURO-D 12-item scale was administered for depression symptoms. Participants reported the frequency they engaged in moderate-intensity PA (MPA) and vigorous-intensity PA (VPA). Men and women engaging in MPA and VPA once or more than once a week had less depression symptoms than those who engage less than once a week. MPA and VPA once or more than once a week were inversely associated with the depression symptoms score. Furthermore, engaging in MPA and VPA decreased the odds of depression (cut-off point of ≥4 depression symptoms) compared to engaging in PA less than once a week. Policies for promoting mental health should include PA for the prevention or treatment of depression symptoms. PA presents physical and psychological benefits and can be used as an overall health-promoting strategy, facing numerous problems at a time.
分析欧洲老年人代表性样本中不同水平的身体活动（PA）与抑郁症状之间的关系。通过面对面访谈收集了参与SHARE第6轮调查的64688名（28015名男性）老年人的PA、抑郁症状和社会人口统计学变量数据。使用EURO-D 12项量表评估抑郁症状。参与者报告了他们进行中等强度PA（MPA）和高强度PA（VPA）的频率。每周进行一次或多次MPA和VPA的男性和女性比每周进行次数少于一次的人抑郁症状更少。每周进行一次或多次MPA和VPA与抑郁症状评分呈负相关。此外，与每周进行PA次数少于一次相比，进行MPA和VPA可降低抑郁（抑郁症状≥4分的临界值）几率。促进心理健康的政策应包括将PA用于预防或治疗抑郁症状。PA具有身体和心理益处，可作为一种全面的健康促进策略加以利用，同时应对诸多问题。
