A cross-sectional study

Aim
Evaluation of the correlation between depression and physical activity in older persons with
osteoporosis in China.
Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 June to 28 December 2021. A total of 207 subjects
who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected from the outpatient department of West
China Hospital and evaluated using a self-designed demographic data questionnaire, the Self-rating
Depression Scale, and the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE). Multivariate linear regression
was performed to analyse the factors affecting physical activity, and multivariate logistic regression
analysis was performed to analyse the factors affecting depression. Spearman’s correlation was used
to analyse the correlation between physical activity and depression in older persons with osteoporosis.
Results
A total of 173 valid questionnaires were statistically analysed. A total of 122 (70.5%) were depressed.
The median depression score was 62.5 (24.38), and the median PASE score was 69 (122). Multivariate
logistic regression model results showed that physical activity and pain were the main risk factors for
depression in older persons with osteoporosis (P < 0.05). Multivariate linear regression model results
showed that gender, participation in social activities, activities of daily living status and depression
were the main risk factors for physical activity in older persons with osteoporosis (P < 0.05). The results
of the correlation analysis showed that physical activity was negatively correlated with depression.
Conclusions
We found that physical activity was negatively correlated with depression in older persons with
osteoporosis. The lower the physical activity scores, the higher the depression scores. This means that
the less physical activity there is, the more serious the depression status, and depression status may
reduce physical activity in older persons with osteoporosis. Medical staff should pay more attention to
physical activity, depression and influencing factors in older persons with osteoporosis.
