METHODS: The study utilized data from the 2018 Indonesian Basic Health Research Survey and used a cross-sectional approach. The participants included individuals aged 40-60 years who completed the 20-question Self-Reporting Questionnaire. A logistic regression was performed to analyze a sample of 263 930 data points.
RESULTS: Nearly 10.4% of the participants suffered from mental health issues. Notably, among those who did not engage in moderate and vigorous PA, a sign of MHPs was found in 12.5% of participants. Those who met World Health Organization standards for PA were less likely to experience MHPs (10.1%). This study found a significant association between PA and mental health. After adjusting for smoking, alcohol consumption, non-communicable diseases, and socio-demographic variables like age, sex, education, occupation, marital status, and residence, the connection between PA and mental health became even stronger (adjusted odds ratio, 0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.78 to 0.85; p<0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Regular PA has been shown to affect mental health positively. Therefore, it is important to improve health education and efforts to raise awareness among middle-aged Indonesians about the importance of PA in maintaining good mental health.
■该研究利用了2018年印度尼西亚基础卫生研究调查的数据,并采用了横截面方法。参与者包括40-60岁的个人,他们完成了20个问题的自我报告问卷(SRQ-20)。进行逻辑回归以分析263,930个数据点的样本。
■近10.4%的参与者患有心理健康问题。值得注意的是,在那些没有进行适度和剧烈体育锻炼的人中,12.5%的参与者发现了心理健康问题的迹象。那些符合世界卫生组织体育活动标准的人不太可能出现心理健康问题(10.1%)。这项研究发现身体活动与心理健康之间存在显着关联。调整吸烟后,酒精消费,非传染性疾病,和社会人口统计学变量,如年龄,性别,教育,职业,婚姻状况,和居住,身体活动和心理健康之间的联系变得更加紧密(调整后的赔率比,0.81;95%置信区间,0.78至0.85;p<0.001)。
■有规律的体育锻炼已被证明对心理健康有积极影响。因此,重要的是要改善健康教育,并努力提高印尼中年人对体育锻炼对保持良好心理健康的重要性的认识。
