The association between physical exercise and depression risk among married individuals.
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaMar 20 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in BMC Public Health, researchers explored the association between physical exercise and depression risk among married individuals.
According to studies, poor marital status reduces engagement in physical activity, whereas excellent marital status promotes it. Gender also influences sports behavior, with married women participating in less physical activity than married males. The physical exercise assessment excluded cycling and walking for going to and from work. The team used the chi-square non-parametric test, Mann-Whitney U non-parametric test, and binary logistic regressions to investigate the impact of physical exercise on depression risk among married individuals.
Results In total, 365 males and 527 females were at high risk of depression; researchers found physical activity associated with depression risk among study participants. Among low-risk individuals, the researchers found sex-based differences in exercise frequency, marital satisfaction, financial contribution, domestic help, self-perceived general health, and subjective wellness.
After combining demographic and important cognitive characteristics, binary regressions revealed that the relationship between exercise frequency and depression in women was statistically significant .
