Being physically active three times a week reduces the odds of being depressed by about 16%,
according to new UCL research carried out as part of the Public Health Research Centre.
The
study,
published
in
JAMA
Psychiatry,
found
a
two-
way
relationship
between
depression
and
physical
activity.
People
who
increased
their
weekly
activity
were
reported
to
have
fewer
depressive
symptoms
but
those
with
more
depressive
symptoms
were
less
active,
particularly
at
younger ages.
Researchers followed 11,135 people born in 1958 up until the age of 50, recording depressive
symptoms and levels of physical activity at regular intervals in adulthood.
They found that each
additional activity period per week reduced odds of depression by 6%. In England 19% of men and
26%
of
women
are
currently
classed
as
“inactive?/p>
?/p>
and
this
study
suggests
that
activity
could
significantly improve their mental as well as physical health.
?/p>
Assuming
the
association
is
causal,
physical
activity
has
a
protective
effect
against
depressio
n.
If an adult between his twenties and forties who isn't physically active became active 3
times per week,
he would reduce his risks of depression by about 16%
,?/p>
said Dr Snehal of the
UCL Institute of Child Health, lead author of the study.
Professor
Mark,
Director
of
the
Public
Health
Research
Centre,
said:
?/p>
Many
people
are
already aware of the benefits of physical activity on their general health, but now we are seeing more
evidence
that
suggests
it
also
has
a
positive
effect
on
a
person's
mental
well-
being.
The
latest
research
highlights
just
how
important
it
is
to
ensure
that
people
are
working
and
living
in
environments that allow them to be both physically active and mentally healthy.
