Key Points Question What is the minimal dose of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) associated with a reduced risk of depression and depressive symptoms in older adults (aged ≥50 years) with and without chronic disease?
Findings
In this cohort study among 4016 older adults, at each of the included time points across a 10-year period, a negative dose-response association was observed between MVPA dose and depressive symptoms and major depression.
Meaning
The findings of this study suggest that a lower dose of MVPA than recommended from guidelines for overall health may be associated with a lower risk of depression among older adults.
That would be plausible if they actually came to it in good faith.
It doesn’t explain why they’re completely disinterested in seeing how stopping forcing people from living the exact way they do is better for their lifestyle too.
I have found people on the car side of things to rarely come to a discussion in good faith which is frustrating to say the least. However, I am advocating for coming to the conversation in good faith regardless. Someone needs to take the first step to connect in any argument.
