Some studies reported that increased physical activity significantly reduces depressive symptoms, while others suggested that changes in sedentary behaviour or sleep have a more significant effect on depressive symptoms. In addition, many individual studies have ignored the dependencies between these behaviours. Studies have explored the effects of replacing sedentary behaviour with physical activity on depression, but the results remain inconclusive.

The OR reflects the effect of the substitution effect on the risk of depression, while the β reflects the effect on the level of depression.
