The aim of this meta-analysis was to comprehensively evaluate the effects of exercise interventions on mental health in Chinese older adults, according to the effects of intervention methods, intervention duration, intervention frequency, intervention time, measurement tools, and subject types.
We searched CNKI, Wanfang and Technology Journal Database for randomized control trials, 15 original studies were extracted, reporting on 1509 Chinese older adults (Age: 55-79 years old). We used CMA2.0 software. After heterogeneity test, suitable random effect model was selected.
Physical exercise had a positive effect on mental health in Chinese older adults, combined effect [SMD = -1.25, 95% CI (-1.66, -0.84), ≤ 0.001], anxiety combined effect size [SMD = -1.45, 95% CI (-2.08, -0.83), ≤ 0.001], depression combined effect size [SMD = -1.02, 95% CI (-1.56, -0.48), ≤ 0.001]. Significant differences in the intervention types, intervention duration, intervention frequency, intervention time, and measurement tools were found.
Physical exercise had positive intervention effect on the mental health of the Chinese older adults, which was applicable to all older adults. Exercise rehabilitation was the more effective, and the best intervention effect on the older hypertension. Due to the high heterogeneity of this study and the limited number of included literature, more high-quality needed to be included in the subsequent studies.
本荟萃分析旨在根据干预方法、干预持续时间、干预频率、干预时间、测量工具和受试者类型全面评估运动干预对中国老年人心理健康的影响。
我们检索了中国知网、万方和科技期刊数据库中的随机对照试验，提取了 15 项原始研究，报告了 1509 名中国老年人（年龄：55-79 岁）的数据。我们使用 CMA2.0 软件。在进行异质性检验后，选择合适的随机效应模型。
身体锻炼对中国老年人的心理健康有积极影响，综合效应[SMD=-1.25,95%CI(-1.66,-0.84),≤0.001]，焦虑的综合效应大小[SMD=-1.45,95%CI(-2.08,-0.83),≤0.001]，抑郁的综合效应大小[SMD=-1.02,95%CI(-1.56,-0.48),≤0.001]。干预类型、干预持续时间、干预频率、干预时间和测量工具存在显著差异。
身体锻炼对中国老年人的心理健康有积极的干预效果，适用于所有老年人。运动康复是更有效的，对老年高血压患者的干预效果最佳。由于本研究存在高度异质性和纳入文献数量有限，后续研究需要纳入更多高质量的文献。
