Association of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior With Depressive Symptoms in Older Adults: A Structural Equation Modeling in Cross-Sectional Study
To reduce depressive symptoms in older adults, PA and SB interventions need to promote sleep quality, functional capacity, and self-esteem. Significance/Implications: Interventions that promote the continuation of regular PA and the reduction of time spent in SB should be encouraged, seeking to improve sleep quality and increase functional capacity, in order to reduce the rates of depressive symptoms in older adults.
