“…Therefore, if older adults living alone have no physical limitations and are healthy, socializing with friends and leisure activities are considered to significantly improve subjective health and happiness. In a previous study [28], physical activity in older adults was positively associated with their psychological well-being.…”

This study used secondary data from the 2017 Korean Community Health Survey to compare the associations of socio-physical environment, social support networks, and social activities with happiness among older adults with three different family types. As per the results, there was a significant difference in happiness index between the three groups (F = 86.688, p < .001). Older adults living alone (odds ratio (OR) = 0.75, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.57–0.99) and those living with family (OR = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.65–0.99) showed greater happiness as the frequency of contact with family increased. Older adults living with only their spouse showed an increase in happiness when their contact with friends was higher (OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.56–0.84). It was confirmed that there were differences in factors influencing happiness according to the family type of the older adults in this study. Therefore, the happiness of older adults needs to be adequately ensured, while considering their various circumstances, including family type.

“…The primary outcome, wellness, was defined and established a priori at initiation of the study design. We classified high wellness as scores ranging from extremely satisfied to neutral (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35) while scores ranging from extremely dissatisfied to slightly dissatisfied (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) were classified as low wellness. Survey responses with missing wellness scores were removed from analysis.…”

“…Other studies have found similar positive correlations among other populations, including school-aged children, 32 university students, 33 and older adults. 34 The link between physical fitness and positive mood is described in the literature. One 2018 review 35 found that many types of physical activity including exercise, yoga, and walking interventions can improve mental well-being across office-based settings.…”

Background: Wellness among resident physicians is important to their well-being and ability to provide clinical care. The relationship between physical activity and wellness among anesthesia residents has not yet been evaluated. We surveyed anesthesia residents to evaluate their levels of physical activity and self-perceived wellness scores. We hypothesized that residents with high self-reported physical activity levels would be more likely to have higher wellness scores. Methods: Three hundred and twenty-three anesthesia residents were invited to participate in this cross-sectional survey study. The survey included questions regarding demographics (age, gender, clinical anesthesia year, work hours), physical activity (based off the US Department of Health and Human Services [USDHHS] guidelines), and wellness (using the Satisfaction With Life Scale). The relationship between wellness and physical activity levels was evaluated. Results: One hundred forty-one residents responded (43.6% response rate). Thirtyeight (27.1%) residents met our activity threshold for physically active. Eighty-six respondents (61.4%) were classified as having high wellness based on their survey answers. No significant associations were found between demographic data and wellness, including age or clinical anesthesia training year. Among those residents who described physical activity consistent with USDHHS guidelines, 29 (76.3%) had high wellness scores. After logistic regression analysis, residents who achieved the physical activity guidelines were more likely to have high wellness scores (odds ratio 2.54, 95% confidence interval 1.13-6.20, P value .03). Conclusions: Anesthesia resident physicians with high physical activity levels had higher self-perceived wellness scores.

“…Similarly, frequent participation in moderate and vigorous activity was associated with better levels of psychological health (Sargent-Cox et al, 2015). Other studies have also found health benefits of physical activity among other populations (Black et al, 2015;Kekäläinen et al, 2019;Kim et al, 2017;Lee & Howard, 2019;Patel et al, 2013;Sargent-Cox et al, 2015;Steinmo et al, 2014).…”

Objectives: Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander (NHPI) older adults often experience social disadvantages and poor health outcomes. Physical activity has been associated with better health in other racial groups, but limited studies have examined these associations in NHPI older adults. Methods: Using data from the 2014 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander National Health Interview Survey ( n = 1,045), logistic regression models examined associations between physical activity and memory/psychological distress/self-rated health. Results: Sufficient levels of physical activity were associated with lower odds of memory problems, serious psychological distress, and poor/fair self-rated health. Unfortunately, only half of the sample reported sufficient physical activity and approximately 30% reported none. Also, 78% of the sample was estimated to be overweight/obese, and 29% had diabetes. Discussion: Culturally-appropriate interventions are recommended to increase physical activity in this population, which could also help reduce high rates of overweight/obesity and diabetes.
