Background: The desire to die among older adults has been reported in several European countries. This study aimed to investigate the associations between grip strength (GS) and the frequency of weekly moderate physical activity (MPA) with wish to die (WTD) in European middle-aged and older adults. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted with 39,377 participants (22,313 women) from 27 European countri...
This study aimed to explore whether immediate recall, delayed recall, and verbal fluency mediated the relationship between meaning in life and depression in a large sample of older adults from 17 European countries. The study also sought to investigate potential differences in mediation trajectories by sex. The data used were from the eighth wave of the SHARE project (year 2019), involving 24,277 individuals (1...
Background: A death wish is a passive ideation about thoughts that suggest dying is better than continuing to live. We investigated the associations of different wish-to-die (WTD) trajectories with changes in frailty over a four-year period in European citizens aged 50 and over. Methods: A longitudinal analysis was conducted with 27,350 participants (13,921 women) from 17 European countries, all aged ≥50 years,...
Objective: To assess the impact of depression and physical activity (PA) of different intensities on the incidence of heart disease. Methods: A prospective cohort study with 20 645 European middle-aged and older adults (mean baseline age 63 years; 55.1% women; median follow-up 9.5 years) was conducted using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe. The EURO-D 12-item scale assessed depres...
Objectives: This study investigates the mediating role of moderate physical activity (MPA), vigorous physical activity (VPA), and self-rated health (SRH) in the association between depression and quality of life (QoL) in a large sample of Europeans aged 50 and over, differentiated by sex. Methods: Data from the 2017 Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe were analyzed, including 11,986 individuals (6...
Background: Grip strength (GS) is associated to both multimorbidity and depression, however its possible moderating effect is unknown. This study aimed to investigate GS moderating effect on the association between multimorbidity and depression. Methods: Data from SHARE wave 8 was used. Participant were 41457 middle-aged and older adults (17954 men) from 18 European countries. A regression analysis was conducte...
Background: We examined the association between individual lifestyle risk factors with all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Methods: Prospective cohort study including 155,002 participants from the Mexico City Prospective Study. Cox regression models were used to estimate the association between individual lifestyle risk factors and all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Participants with prevalent diseases...
Referees’ activity can be an instrument for training students with an impact on health-related physical fitness (PF). This study aimed to investigate the differences in PF and body composition between students without sports practice (G1), students with regular sports practice (G2), and student referees in team invasion games (G3). Methods: This study followed a cross-sectional design. The sample comprised 45 m...
