Atividade f�sica ao longo da vida reduz risco de depress�o na velhice

Staying active throughout life can substantially lower the risk of depression in old age, according to an international study analyzing data from over 15,000 people aged 50 and older, tracked for up to 12 years in the UK and US. This finding underscores the importance of consistent physical activity as a preventive measure against mental health issues, highlighting how lifestyle choices can profoundly impact long-term well-being. The implications are significant for public health strategies aiming to improve the mental health of aging populations.
