Abstract Background. Reduced physical performance is predictive of deleterious outcomes in older adults. Data considering objective physical performance and incident depression are sparse. Objective. The objective of this study was to investigate during a 4-year study whether objective physical performance can predict incident depression among older adults who do not have depression at the baseline. Design. This was a longitudinal study. Methods. From 3,099 older people initially enrolled in the Progetto Veneto Anziani study, 970 participants without depression at the baseline were included (mean age = 72.5 years; 54.6% women). Physical performance measures included the Short Physical Perfo…

Reduced mobility and physical activity as predictors of depressive symptoms among community-dwelling older adults: an eight-year follow-up study.
2003
Background and aims: Epidemiological research suggests that reduced physical activity and mobility may be associated with depressive symptoms. The present study examines the relative roles of mobility status and physical activity as predictors of depressive symptoms among community-dwelling older adults. Methods: The subjects comprised randomly selected, non-institutionalized residents of the city of Jyvaskyla, central Finland, born in 1904–1923. At baseline, 80% (N=1224) and after the 8-year follow-up period (1996) 88% (N=663) of eligible persons were interviewed. All non-institutionalized men and women (N=384) who participated in both baseline and follow-up interviews, who supplied data o…
