Data on symptoms of depression and the role of resources during the COVID-19 pandemic are scarce for psychotherapists.

Individuals with high sedentary time (ST), defined by TV viewing, demonstrated a 31% increased risk of dementia compared to those with low ST (pooled HRs, 1.31; 95% CIs, 1.25-1.37). No significantly increased risk for dementia was observed among individuals with high computer usage time (pooled HRs, 0.89; 95% CIs, 0.73-1.09). However, when SB was defined by other methods, individuals with high ST demonstrated a 33% increased risk of dementia compared to those with low ST (pooled HRs, 1.33; 95% CIs, 1.25-1.42).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>SB increases the risk of dementia, but SB defined by computer usage time has not shown this association.</p><p><strong>Trial registration: </strong>CRD42023493109.</p>","PeriodicalId":9029,"journal":{"name":"BMC Psychiatry","volume":"25 1","pages":"451"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12054141/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143953364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
