“…The same was observed in other studies [38][39][40] . Depressive illness is diagnosed twice more in women due to a higher frequency of medical appointments and greater adherence to health care, which in turn leads to greater detection of these cases 8,40,42,43 .…”

Background: The anxiety and depression are a public health problem in the elderly. Currently some studies have been shown a positive association between physical activity and good mental health. Objective: To compare the possible relationship between levels of anxiety and depression among active and sedentary elderly. Methods: The sample comprised a total of 72 patients divided into one group of 38 elderly subjects (GS) and another group of 34 physically assets (GA). These answered a questionnaire with socio-demographic characteristics and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Results: The variables that influenced the presence of anxiety and depression were the level of physical activity (p < 0.001) and the level of instruction (p < 0.01). The GS showed 38 more probability to develop symptoms of anxiety and depression and subjects without qualifications had 11 more probability to develop these symptoms. For the GS 35 (92.1%) patients had levels of anxiety or depression and 3 (7.9%) did not. In GA, the presence of anxiety or depression were observed only in 8 (23.5%) and the remaining 26 (76.5%) revalidates not any kind of these symptoms (p < 0.05). Discussion: Practicing physical activity may represent a very important factor to reduce levels of anxiety and depression in elderly.

“…In humans, exercise is associated with a reduced incidence of stress-related psychopathology (De Moor et al, 2006;Dunn et al, 2001;Herring et al, 2010;Lawlor and Hopker, 2001), and in rodents, voluntary wheel running is associated with reduced anxiety-and depression-like behaviors (Binder et al, 2004;Fox et al, 2008;Greenwood et al, 2005;Greenwood et al, 2003;Salam et al, 2009;Sciolino et al, 2012). For example, we have shown that 2 weeks of home cage wheel running in C57BL/6J mice reduces acoustic startle amplitude, reduces stress-induced hyperthermia, diminishes anxiety-like behavior in the open field, and reduces the anxiogenic effect of the serotonin agonist m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP, Fox et al, 2008;Salam et al, 2009).…”

Exercise promotes stress resistance and is associated with reduced anxiety and reduced depression in both humans and in animal models. Despite the fact that dysfunction within the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis is strongly linked to both anxiety and depressive disorders, the evidence is mixed as to how exercise alters the function of the HPA axis. Here we demonstrate that 4 weeks of voluntary wheel running was anxiolytic in C57BL/6J mice and resulted in a shorter time to peak corticosterone (CORT) and a more rapid decay of CORT following restraint stress. Wheel running was also associated with increased adrenal size and elevated CORT following systemic administration of adrenocorticotropic hormone. Finally, the HPA-axis response to peripheral or intracerebroventricular administration of dexamethasone did not suggest that wheel running increases HPA-axis negative feedback through GR-mediated mechanisms. Together these findings suggest that exercise may promote stress resilience in part by insuring a more rapid and shortened HPA response to a stressor thus affecting overall exposure to the potentially negative effects of more sustained HPA-axis activation.

“…Numerous investigators have shown that a healthy lifestyle, incorporating regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and healthy nutrition, is related to fewer symptoms of psychological distress (De Moor et al, 2006;Dunn et al, 2005;Tsuno, Besset, & Ritchie, 2005). In particular, many studies have shown that exercise is related to lower levels of depressive symptoms (e.g., Dunn et al, 2005;Nabkasorn et al, 2005).…”

“…Several investigators have reported that a healthy lifestyle including exercise, sufficient sleep, and a healthful diet is related to fewer psychological symptoms, such as anxiety and depression (De Moor, Beem, Stubbe, Boomsma, & De Gues, 2006;Dunn, Trivedi, Kampert, Clark, & Chambliss, 2005). A healthy lifestyle is also related to psychological well-being, including greater life satisfaction and higher levels of self-esteem (Rejeski & Mihalko, 2001;Spence, McGannon, & Poon, 2005).…”
