“…These findings are consistent with recent studies which found associations between sedentary behavior and increased age, 35 being African American, 31 low level of education, 34 increased BMI, 34,43 and smoking. 34 The Hispanic group was less sedentary compared to non-Hispanic whites. 32 Interestingly, alcohol users appeared to be more active compared to non-alcohol users as observed in a prior study.…”

“…28,30 Living alone, education, and BMI were not associated with depression in bivariate analysis in contrast to prior studies. 11,34 Smoking and alcohol use were also not associated with depression in older adults in a bivariate analysis unlike other studies. 24,25 This may be due to the small number of subjects out of the 4% with moderate depression who reported alcohol use or smoking.…”

a b s t r a c tObjectives: Depressive symptoms are prevalent in older adults, and physical activity (PA) may have beneficial effects on depression. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between physical activity and depressive symptoms, taking into account demographic factors, and the associations between selected demographic factors and physical activity levels in community-dwelling older adults (age 60 years). Methods: Data were drawn from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005e2006. Descriptive statistics and logistic models were used in data analysis. Results: Four percent of participants reported moderate depressive symptoms, and 24% of subjects exhibited sedentary PA. Factors associated with increased risk of moderate depression included age, sedentary PA, and chronic medical conditions (ps < 0.05). Sedentary PA was significantly associated with age, race, education, BMI, smoking status, alcohol use, and taking psychotropics (ps < 0.05). Discussion: PA is a protective factor for depression in older adults, and clinical implications to encourage PA are discussed.

“…Shemesh et al 17) found that one of the major barriers to exercise is poor physical health or disability. Kaplan et al 18) stated that in the absence of chronic conditions, injuries and functional limitations were associated with lack of frequent physical activity in later life. In light of those findings, individuals who do not exercise regularly might have a disability or injury, and thus present lower PCS scores.…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between change in exercise habit and changes in body composition, blood pressure and health-related quality of life among participants in a health-guidance program with no exercise habit.[Subjects] The subjects were 3 males and 12 females (mean age, 65.4 years).[Methods] The intervention was a 6-month exercise-and nutritional-guidance program. Outcome measures were body composition, blood pressure, and health-related quality of life based on the physical and mental components summary of the SF-36. Measurements were performed at baseline, post-intervention, and 6 months post-intervention (follow-up). At baseline, post-intervention (short-term change) and follow-up (long-term change), the outcome measures were compared between the 'exercising group' who had established an exercise habit at follow-up and the 'non-exercising group' who had not.[Results] At baseline, the physical component summary of the non-exercising group was significantly lower than that of the exercising group. In the long-term, the exercising group tended to have a greater decrease in waist circumference than the non-exercising group.[Conclusion] The reason why a significant effect of the health-guidance program was not found over the short-term might be that the physical component summary of the non-exercising group was lower than that of the exercising group.

“…Menurut Miller (2012), peningkatan usia berdampak pada penurunan fungsi fisiologis tubuh sehingga kemampuan lansia pun berkurang dalam melakukan aktivitas fisik. Penelitian Kaplan, et al, (2001) juga menyatakan bahwa usia lansia yang lebih muda berhubungan dengan keaktifan dalam melakukan aktivitas fisik. Kemudian, penelitian lain mengatakan bahwa aktivitas fisik akan terus menurun seiring terjadinya penuaan diantara usia 45-79 tahun (Norman, et al, 2002).…”

AbstrakDepresi merupakan masalah psikososial yang sering terjadi pada lansia akibat ketidakmampuan adaptasi masa tua. Aktivitas fisik dapat mencegah timbulnya masalah psikososial pada lansia. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan deskriptif cross sectional dengan teknik consecutive sampling yang bertujuan untuk melihat gambaran tingkat depresi lansia yang melakukan senam. Pengumpulan data menggunakan instrumen Geriatric Depression Scale. Hasil penelitian terhadap 74 lansia yang mengikuti senam didapatkan mayoritas 65% lansia yang aktif senam tidak mengalami depresi sedangkan 58,8% lansia yang tidak aktif senam lebih banyak mengalami depresi ringan. Oleh karena itu, perawat dan petugas panti perlu memotivasi lansia untuk melakukan senam lansia secara rutin sehingga dapat menurunkan kejadian depresi di panti.
