شدت فعالیت بدنی و شدت افسردگی در میان بزرگسالان آمریکایی افزایش انعقاد عضلات بی هوازی

Women had higher prevalence of depression than men (8.4% versus 5.7%), whereas anaerobic muscle strengthening activity was more common in men than women (35% versus 24%). Adjusting for aerobic activity, anaerobic activity was inversely associated with depression (PHQ9 ≥ 10) in women under 50 (OR = 0.57; 95%CI = 0.41–0.81), all women (OR = 0.59; 0.43–0.80), men under 50 (OR = 0.85; 0.58–1.2), and all men (OR = 0.72; 0.51–1.01). Anaerobic activity was inversely associated with severity level of depressive symptoms in women and men. The combined regimen of anaerobic muscle strengthening activity and meeting the Physical Activity Guideline for America (PAGA) was related to the lowest odds ratio of depression in women (OR = 0.50; 95%CI = 0.33–0.75) and men (OR = 0.39; 95%CI = 0.23–0.62). Independent of aerobic physical activity, anaerobic muscle strengthening activity is significantly and inversely associated with depression among USA adults.
