“…Further, ADL was significantly associated with active aging, which supports the findings of previous studies ( 24 , 44 , 45 ). ADL decline has been linked to lower physical activity, lower life satisfaction, and lower social participation, which are essential components of a low-level active aging state.…”

BackgroundCompared with urban areas, old adults in rural areas have limited access to medical and health resources in China. Active of daily living ability (ADL) decline and depressive symptoms are common in rural older adults. In particular, the depressive symptoms of the elderly in rural areas are often ignored. Thus, it is difficult to realize high-level active aging at the individual level. In order to explore the effects of ADL and depressive symptoms on the active aging of rural elderly, we conducted a survey and analyzed the mediation and interaction effects of depressive symptoms of ADL on active aging.MethodsFrom July to November 2019, a cross-sectional study of 945 elderly rural individuals was conducted in three townships in Xiangtan County, China. Active aging, ADL, and depressive symptoms were assessed using the positive aging questionnaire (PAEQ), ADL scale, and depression in old age scale (DIA-S), respectively. PROCESS macro program model 4 and logistic regression were used to explore the mediation and interaction between ADL and depressive symptoms on active aging.ResultsThe proportions of rural elderly with an active aging level were 23.5% (well above average), 50.9% (above average), 24.1% (below average), 1.5% (well below average), respectively. The rates of ADL decline and depressive symptoms were 44.7 and 19.7%, respectively. Mediated effect analysis showed that the relationship between ADL and active aging could be partly mediated by depressive symptoms (ab = −0.2382, boot SE = 0.0437), and the 95% confidence interval was [−0.3311, −0.1584]. The mediating effect proportion of the total effect was 30.7%. Logistic regression showed that ADL and depressive symptoms have an interactive additive effect on active aging. The relative excess risk of interaction (RERI), the attributable proportion due to interaction (API), and the synergy index (SI) scores were 13.109, 0.621, and 2.871, respectively. Older adults with ADL decline and depressive symptoms had higher (OR = 21.115) odds of well-below-average active aging compared with older adults with ADL decline (OR = 3.258) or only depressive symptoms (OR = 5.749).ConclusionThe findings suggest that the association between ADL and active aging is persistent and partly mediated by depressive symptoms, and comorbid depressive symptoms and ADL decline have an additive effect on active aging. Maintaining independence is an important factor for realizing active aging. However, for the rural elderly with ADL decline and low-level active aging, we can promote the realization of high-level active aging at the individual level through the prevention and treatment of depressive symptoms based on multidisciplinary care.

“…Physical activity is extremely important for elderly individuals as it offers a wide range of physical and mental health benefits. Regular physical activity can help improve strength, flexibility, balance, and cardiovascular health, all of which are crucial for maintaining independence and reducing the risk of falls and injuries in older adults [46].…”

The biological aging, characterized by changing in metabolism and physicochemical properties of cells, has an impact on public health. Environment and lifestyle including factors like diet and physical activity seems to play a key role in healthy ageing. Several studies have shown that regular physical activity can enhance antioxidant defence mechanisms, including the activity of enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. However, intense or prolonged exercise can also lead to an increase in ROS production temporarily, re-sulting in oxidative stress. This phenomenon is referred as "exercise-induced oxidative stress". The relationship between physical activity and oxidative stress in aging is complex and depends on various factors such as the type, intensity, duration, and frequency of exercise, as well as in-dividual differences in antioxidant capacity and adaptation to exercise. In this review, we ana-lyzed what is reported from several authors regarding the role of physical activity on oxidative stress in aging process as well as the role of hormesis and physical exercise as tools for preven-tion and treatment of sarcopenia, an aging related disease. Finally we reported what has recently been studied in relation to the effect of physical activity and sport on aging in women

Several studies have shown that regular physical activity can enhance antioxidant defense mechanisms, including the activity of enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase.

This phenomenon is referred to as “exercise-induced oxidative stress”.
