Abstract

Introduction: Due to an increasing prevalence of mental disorders among the population, many health programs have been developed to deal with this problem. These programs include physical activity in their guidelines, because of the extensive evidence that shows its importance in psychological well-being. The main objective of our study is to analyze the influence of physical exercise on the development of mental health problems in people older than 55 years old, because eld is considered a critical phase in terms of the changes that occur. Methodology: A cross-sectional study has been carried out to analyze the association between physical activity and the development of mental disorders, as well as its relationship with other variables, based on the data provided by the European Health Survey (Spain, 2020). Results: Between the results obtained in the sample, it was found with a significant difference, that being a woman, a sedentary lifestyle, having primary education or no studies, as well as obesity and tobacco consumption behaved as risk factors. The practice of physical activity and having higher education were protective factors against development of mental disorders. Conclusions: Physical inactivity is a risk factor for the development of mental health disorders. However, psychological well-being depends on multiple factors that may act jointly, so it is necessary to analyze the influence of other variables in this association.
55岁以上人群的身体活动和心理健康问题
导言:由于人口中精神障碍的患病率越来越高,许多健康项目已经开发出来处理这个问题。这些项目在指导方针中包括了体育活动,因为大量证据表明体育活动对心理健康很重要。我们研究的主要目的是分析体育锻炼对55岁以上人群心理健康问题发展的影响,因为年龄被认为是发生变化的关键阶段。方法:根据欧洲健康调查(西班牙,2020年)提供的数据,开展了一项横断面研究,分析身体活动与精神障碍发展之间的关联及其与其他变量的关系。结果:在样本中获得的结果之间,发现具有显著差异的是,作为女性,久坐的生活方式,受过小学教育或没有学习,以及肥胖和吸烟是风险因素。体育锻炼和受过高等教育是防止精神障碍发展的保护因素。结论:缺乏运动是心理健康障碍发生的危险因素。然而,心理健康取决于多种因素,这些因素可能共同作用,因此有必要分析其他变量在这种关联中的影响。
