“…Despite the well-established links between multiple health problems such as BMI, SRH, physical activity, and depressive symptoms (Okosun et al, 2001; Stunkard et al, 2003; Jokela et al, 2016; Romo-Perez et al, 2016), little is known about race by gender differences in the links between sustained health problems over time. The current study aimed to test if sustained high depressive symptoms and poor SRH similarly reflect sustained high BMI and physical inactivity in Black men and women and White men and women, using a nationally representative cohort of U.S. adults over age of 50.…”

Background: Although obesity and physical activity influence psychosocial well-being, these effects may vary based on race, gender, and their intersection. Using 6-year follow-up data of a nationally representative sample of adults over age of 50 in the United States, this study aimed to explore race by gender differences in additive effects of sustained high body mass index (BMI) and physical activity on sustained depressive symptoms (CES-D) and self-rated health (SRH).Methods: Data came from waves 7, 8, and 10 (2004–2010) of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), an ongoing national cohort started in 1992. The study enrolled a representative sample of Americans (n = 19,280) over the age of 50. Latent factors were used to calculate sustained high BMI and physical activity (predictors) and sustained poor SRH and high depressive symptoms (outcomes) based on measurements in 2004, 2006, and 2010. Age, education, and income were confounders. Multi-group structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the additive effects of BMI and physical activity on depressive symptoms and SRH, where the groups were defined based on race by gender.Results: Group differences were apparent in the direction and significance of the association between sustained high BMI and depressive symptoms. The association between sustained high BMI and depressive symptoms was positive and significant for White women (B = 0.03, p = 0.007) and non-significant for White men (B = −0.03, p = 0.062), Black men (B = −0.02, p = 0.564) and Black women (B = 0.03, p = 0.110). No group differences were found in the paths from sustained physical activity to depressive symptoms, or from physical activity or BMI to SRH.Conclusion: Sustained high BMI and high depressive symptoms after age 50 are positively associated only for White women. As the association between sustained health problems such as depression and obesity are not universal across race and gender groups, clinical and public health interventions and programs that simultaneously target multiple health problems may have differential effects across race by gender groups.

“… 15 By analyzing data obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005–2006, Lee et al 16 found that accelerometer-based active/high active groups (7,500 steps per day) had a significantly lower risk of depressive symptoms compared to sedentary groups (5,000 steps per day). In a representative sample of Spanish adults, Romo-Perez et al 17 showed that individuals who met the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for regular walking (≥150 minutes/week) had positive self-rated health and better body mass index (BMI) profile than those who did not meet the guidelines. In a 3-year prospective cohort study, Yoshida et al 18 assessed the association between habitual PA and depressive symptoms in Japanese older adults, and they found that sustained PA was an independent predictor for the incidence of depressive symptoms.…”

BackgroundThis study aimed to explore the associations between weight status, physical activity, and depression in Korean older adults.MethodsWe used the baseline data drawn from the 2008 baseline survey utilized in the Living Profiles of Older People Survey, comprised of 15,146 community-dwelling older people (42.6% men and 57.4% women) aged 60 years and older residing in the Republic of Korea. After excluding respondents with missing data on height, weight, and physical activity (PA), data on 10,197 samples (43.3% men and 56.7% women) were analyzed in this study.ResultsUnderweight and completely inactive individuals had poorer sociodemographic and health behavioral characteristics and increased risks of late-life depression compared with normal weight and sufficiently active individuals, respectively. In terms of the aerobic PA guidelines, completely inactive individuals had a significantly higher risk of late-life depression (odds ratio 1.730; 95% confidence interval, 1.412–2.120) compared with sufficiently active individuals, even after adjustments for age, education, household income, night sleeping, living status, marital status, smoking, number of comorbidities, nutritional status, self-reported health status, and cognitive performance as covariates. In addition, those who did not meet the PA guidelines and were underweight or overweight/obese were more likely to have late-life depression compared to those who were active and normal weight.ConclusionsThe current findings of the study suggest that modifiable, lifestyle risk factors, such as physical inactivity, underweight, and overweight/obesity, are positively associated with late-life depression in Korean older adults.

“…A associação entre atividade física e obesidade também foi verificada em um estudo conduzido na Espanha 56 . Mulheres que praticavam ≥ 150 minutos/semana de atividade física (fisicamente ativas) tiveram redução de 28% nas chances de obesidade em comparação às fisicamente inativas.…”

Prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade e fatores associados em mulheres de São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul: um estudo de base populacional

Resumo Introdução O sobrepeso e a obesidade são multicausais, porém seus determinantes ainda não foram completamente estudados. Objetivo Estimar a prevalência de sobrepeso e de obesidade e os fatores associados. Método Estudo transversal de base populacional com 981 mulheres (20 a 60 anos) de São Leopoldo/RS. O peso e a altura foram aferidos para o cálculo do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). Mulheres com IMC entre 25,0 e 29,9 kg/m2 e IMC ≥ 30,0 kg/m2 foram classificadas com sobrepeso e obesidade, respectivamente. As razões de prevalência e os intervalos de confiança de 95% foram estimados por meio de regressão de Poisson. Resultados A prevalência de sobrepeso foi de 33% (IC95%: 30,1-36,0) e de obesidade foi de 31,2% (IC95%: 28,3-34,1). Após ajuste, maiores probabilidades de sobrepeso ocorreram em mulheres mais velhas, pertencentes às classes econômicas mais baixas, casadas ou em união, com histórico de obesidade materna e com uma ou mais gestações. As maiores probabilidades de obesidade ocorreram em mulheres mais velhas, de baixa renda, com histórico de obesidade materna e paterna e com três ou quatro gestações. Menarca acima de 12 anos e prática de atividade física de lazer foram fatores de proteção para a obesidade. Conclusão Esses resultados evidenciam a necessidade de ações de prevenção de longo prazo, algumas delas envolvendo ações transgeracionais.
