Abstract

Unlikesex twins aged 69–88 were identified through a national Swedish registry and sent a survey about health including depressive symptoms CESD and the frequency of engaging in physical social and mental activities A total of 605 complete twin pairs respondedDepressive symptom scores were associated with frequency of engagement in physical and mental activities but only in men No statistically significant associations with depressive symptom scores for any of the three types of activities were found in womenThe results suggest that engaging in physical and mental activities may protect older men from developing depressive symptoms but longitudinal data are needed to offer more conclusive findings on the role that physical mental and social activities play in the maintenance of psychological health in older men and womenThis publication was made possible by supported from the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Successful Aging The Axel and Margaret Axson Johnson’s Foundation The Swedish Council for Social Research and the Swedish Foundation for Health Care Sciences and Allergy Research
