Research on activity restriction is known to mediate the disease-depression relationship and data from 423 older Israeli adults showed that having to give up activities because of failing health was related to more depressive symptoms (DS). In conclusion, questions about activities given up and replaced could contribute to the means of assessing the extent and impact of functional limitations on older adults.

Article Abstract:

Research was done on associations between physical activity and depressive symptoms in 1,151 community-dwelling adults in Japan. The results suggest that age should be considered when estimating the effect of physical activity on psychological well-being, since it was revealed that for the older adults (aged 65-79), daily walking predicted fewer depressive symptoms.
