Zhai L, Xu M. The 50 most-cited review papers on physical activity and depression: A bibliometric analysis. Complement Ther Clin Pract 2023; 51:101745. [PMID: 36965414 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctcp.2023.101745] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023]
Abstract
A growing body of literature has demonstrated the preventive role of physical activity in depression, and relevant research is rapidly on the rise. The aim of this study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the 50 most-cited review papers on physical activity and depression, thus identifying important research topics and future research directions. METHODS The 50 most-cited review articles were identified and extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection database (on 31st October 2022), and a bibliometric citation analysis was performed using the Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer software (Version 1.6.18). Information on the country, authors of publications, publishing journals, citations (i.e., total or annual), keywords, and other meaningful data was analysed comprehensively. RESULTS The 50 most-cited review articles received, on average, 247.5 citations per article. Most review articles were from England, with contributions from some highly cited researchers and research teams. Western countries/regions, such as England, Australia, and the USA were the most influential in publishing review articles on physical activity and depression. The Journal of Affective Disorders and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were the journals that published the most highly cited review articles on physical activity and depression. Important research topics on the literature on physical activity and depression focused on (1) different types of physical activity and depression; (2) intervention studies related to physical activity and depression; (3) fitness and physical activity levels in people with depression; (4) methodological analyses in physical activity and depression studies; and (5) the impact of physical activity on depression in different populations. CONCLUSION This study reveals that review studies on physical activity and depression have great potential to develop further knowledge. This study also highlights some future research directions, which can serve to effectively advance the knowledge base.

Abstract
Background Decreased muscle strength and/or depression with aging are emerging as important public health concerns in both developed and developing countries. This study investigated the effects of low handgrip strength (HGS) and depression on the risk of all-cause mortality in Korean older adults. Methods Data from 13,901 Korean adults (57% women) who participated in the 2008 baseline survey and completed the 2011 follow-up assessments were used. Results In total, the current findings showed that individuals with depression only and individuals with low HGS plus depression had significantly higher risks of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.366, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.033–1.807, p = 0.029 and HR = 1.961, 95% CI = 1.409–2.736, p < 0.001, respectively) even after adjustments for all the measured covariates, compared with individuals with high HGS plus no depression (HR = 1). Gender-stratified analysis showed that men with depression only and men with depression plus low HGS had significantly higher risks of all-cause mortality (HR = 1.376, 95% CI =1.029–1.841, p = 0.031 and HR = 1.861, 95% CI = 1.306–2.651, p = 0.001, respectively) even after adjustments for all the measured covariates, compared with individuals with no depression plus high HGS (HR = 1). In women, however, the joint effect of depression and low HGS only remained significant at borderline (HR = 2.603, 95% CI = 0.981–6.908, p = 0.055) when adjusted for all the confounders. Conclusion The current finding suggested that depression and low HGS were significantly and synergistically associated with the increased risk of premature death from all causes in the Korean geriatric population.

Girgus JS, Yang K, Ferri CV. The Gender Difference in Depression: Are Elderly Women at Greater Risk for Depression Than Elderly Men? Geriatrics (Basel) 2017; 2:geriatrics2040035. [PMID: 31011045 PMCID: PMC6371140 DOI: 10.3390/geriatrics2040035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 121] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2017] [Revised: 10/31/2017] [Accepted: 11/02/2017] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Numerous epidemiological reports have found that adolescent, young adult, and middle-aged adult girls and women are more likely to be diagnosed with unipolar depression and report greater symptoms of depression when compared to boys and men of similar ages. What is less well-known is whether this gender difference persists into late life. This literature review examines whether the well-known gender difference in unipolar depression continues into old age, and, if it does, whether the variables that are known to contribute to the gender difference in unipolar depression from adolescence through adulthood continue to contribute to the gender difference in the elderly, and/or whether there are new variables that arise in old age and contribute to the gender difference in the elderly. In this review of 85 empirical studies from every continent except for Antarctica, we find substantial support for the gender difference in depression in individuals who are 60 and older. More research is necessary to determine which factors are the strongest predictors of the gender difference in depression in late life, and particularly whether the factors that seem to be responsible for the gender difference in depression in earlier life stages continue to predict the gender difference in the elderly, and/or whether new factors come into play in late life. Longitudinal research, meta-analyses, and model-based investigations of predictors of the gender difference in depression are needed to provide insights into how and why the gender difference in depression persists in older age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As leading causes of death, chronic medical diseases, particularly common cardiovascular diseases, are associated with depression. The combination of depression and chronic medical disease in turn is linked with poorer health and premature death. Despite numerous studies on mortality in people with depression and chronic medical disease, the effects of age and gender were not consistently considered. To appropriately estimate mortality in the clinical setting, we aimed to analyse age- and gender-specific mortality profiles in outpatients with depression and chronic medical disease by considering depression severity. METHODS We examined data from N=327,018 outpatients with depression aged 18 years and older (mean=60 years), which we obtained from German electronic health-insurance claims data covering the years 2007-2010. We considered major chronic medical disease groups: cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, diseases of the respiratory system and cancer. To analyse both adjusted mortality risk and rates over one year in a comprehensive manner, we calculated General Estimation Equation (GEE) Poisson models for binary data. RESULTS The mortality risk increased with age and was higher for males. Especially patients below 60 years of age with cancer or diabetes had an increased mortality risk, but not patients with cardiovascular disease. Mortality was comparably increased in patients with severe depression, diabetes or respiratory disease. LIMITATIONS We did not have data from a control group without depression. CONCLUSIONS Notably, not cardiovascular diseases but cancer and, to a lesser extent, diabetes, both in younger patients, respiratory diseases and severity of depression require particular attention in outpatient care to reduce mortality.

Abstract
Depressive symptoms are common in women with breast cancer. This study evaluated how ratings of depressive symptoms changed from the time of the preoperative assessment to 6 months after surgery and investigated whether specific demographic, clinical, and symptom characteristics predicted preoperative levels of and/or characteristics of the trajectories of depressive symptoms. Characteristics that predicted higher preoperative levels of depressive symptoms included being married/partnered; receipt of adjuvant chemotherapy; more fear of metastasis; higher levels of trait anxiety, state anxiety, sleep disturbance, problems with changes in appetite; more hours per day in pain; and lower levels of attentional function. Future studies need to evaluate associations between anxiety, fears of recurrence, and uncertainty, as well as personality characteristics and depressive symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on the association between depressive symptomatology (DS) and cardiovascular events and mortality in elderly persons have yielded contradictory findings. To address this issue, the authors assessed DS and an extensive array of sociodemographic, behavioral, and biological variables in the largest population-based sample of older Italians ever studied and analyzed their association with coronary heart disease (CHD) morbidity and total number of deaths. METHODS This prospective, community-based cohort study included a sample of 5632 Italians, 65 years and older, who were recruited from the demographic registries of eight municipalities in Italy. Depressive symptomatology was assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale, and a score > or =10 was used to indicate the presence of DS. All traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors were assessed at baseline, through questionnaires, blood tests, and physical examinations. The outcomes were CHD fatal and nonfatal events and total number of deaths. The association of the predictive variables with the outcomes was assessed using different Cox models. RESULTS Baseline DS was associated with a higher incidence of fatal and nonfatal CHD events (hazard ratio [HR], 1.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06-2.60) and with cardiovascular mortality in men (HR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.60-3.87) and with total mortality in men (HR, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.58-2.58) and women (HR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.04-1.95) at the 4-year follow-up assessment. This association was observed after adjusting for a vast array of potential confounding variables, including major chronic conditions. CONCLUSIONS Depressive symptomatology confers an increased risk for CHD in men and for total mortality in men and women but is not explained by health behaviors, social isolation, or biological or clinical determinants.

Abstract
Depression is one of the leading causes of suffering in the elderly, but it is often under-diagnosed and under-treated, partly due to the false belief that depression is a common aspect of aging. Depression in the elderly is frequently comorbid with medical illnesses, may often be expressed by somatic complaints, and may be a risk factor for other diseases such as dementia and coronary artery disease. Depression decreases the quality of life and increases disability and the risk of mortality, also due to suicide. Although several effective antidepressant drugs are available, with a favorable therapeutic index, non-pharmacological treatments, such as psychotherapy and exercise, should receive greater attention, since combination therapy is probably more effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depressive symptoms (DS) are very common in elders, particularly among women, and their prevalence rates vary widely across countries. METHODS A random sample of noninstitutionalized men (n = 867) and women (n = 1531), aged 65 years and older, from the Veneto region, northeastern Italy, were interviewed and participated in a brief physical examination in their homes. The prevalence rates of DS and the associated physical, social, and psychological factors were analyzed. RESULTS The overall prevalence rate of DS was 58% in women and 34% in men (p <.0001), but there was no significant trend with age. Women were at higher risk of DS (OR = 1.63) than men, even after adjusting for traditional risk factors, such as fair-poor self-rated health, sleep disturbances and use of sleep medications, lack of support from social and family network, and physical and cognitive impairment. CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence that older women more frequently report DS than men, independently from the presence of traditional risk and associated factors. Cultural and lifestyle factors throughout life might explain this gender difference.
