本研究は,身体機能と抑うつとの間にどのような関連があるのかを明らかにするために,宮城県S町に在住する75歳以上の在宅高齢者281人を対象に,面接調査と体力測定を実施した.握力,10M最速歩行時間,UP&GO,開眼片足立,長座位体前屈の体力測定項目や老健式活動能力指標の得点といった身体機能と老年うつ病スケール(Geriatric Depression Scale)の得点に着目し,分析をおこなった結果,抑うつ症状と関連している身体機能は歩行機能であり,また生活機能の低い群は高い群に比べうつ傾向が高いことが明かとなった.また,身体機能の状態を良好に保つことが抑うつ傾向を予防することにつながると考えられた.

The present study aims to clarify the relationship between physical function and depression, and to ascertain whether state of physical function can be used to screen for early depression and depressive symptoms in healthy elderly individuals. Elderly individuals (n=281) 75 years of age or older and living at home in a city in Miyagi Prefecture were interviewed and underwent a physical strength test. Physical function was assessed in terms of elderly activity indexes and physical strength parameters (i.e., grip strength, 10 m fastest walking time, Timed Up and Go Test, balancing on one leg with eyes open, and seated trunk flexibility test). Depression was assessed using the geriatric depression scale. Results showed that among the various physical functions, walking was correlated to depressive symptoms. In addition, elderly individuals with low physical function tended to be more depressed than elderly individuals with high physical function. Thus, the present study suggests that maintaining favorable physical function can prevent depression in community-dwelling elderly.
