Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated how different amounts of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) over 10 years relate to reducing the risk of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and worry in older adults, finding that even minimal activity like brisk walking can lower GAD risk.
  • Specific doses of MVPA, such as 1600, 1200, and 2400 MET minutes per week, were associated with significantly lower odds of GAD compared to doing no activity, with the greatest reduction at 1200 METmin/week.
  • Engaging in as little as 10 minutes of moderate activity daily for five days a week may be enough to help lower the likelihood of experiencing GAD over time among older adults.]
