title: Combined Associations of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior With Depressive Symptoms in Older Adults.
abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the association of combined physical activity (PA)/sedentary behaviour (SB) with depressive symptoms (DS) in older adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 622 individuals ≥ 60 years old. After adjusting for gender, years of study, and monthly household income, prevalence ratios for presence of DS were statistically significant for older adults with <150 min/week in PA and ≥75th percentile of SB on weekdays (PR = 2.11,95%CI: 1.54-2.90) and on weekends (PR = 2.20,95%CI:1.57-3.09). Older adults who do not meet the PA guidelines and spend more time in SB on weekdays or weekend days are more likely to present with DS compared to those who meet the recommendations of PA and spend less time in SB during the day.
