Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review analyzed 30 prospective studies to determine if physical activity (PA) can prevent depression, finding that most studies support a protective effect of PA against future depression.
  • The review highlights that even low levels of PA, like walking for about 150 minutes per week, may help reduce the risk of developing depression, emphasizing its importance for mental health prevention.
  • Overall, the evidence suggests promoting physical activity could be an effective public health strategy to lower depression rates, given its consistency and the high quality of most studies included.]

終了しました。今日のヒント：「週に150分のウォーキングでもうつ病の予防になる」と運動とうつ病予防に関してはエビデンスが固まっています。朝日を浴びて30分ほど歩きましょう。気持ちよいですよ。参考：DOI: 10.1016/j.amepre.2013.08.001　ではまた明日。
