“…Esto constituye una de las primeras descripciones de esta asociación en población latina que labora y estudia simultáneamente, y se condicen con evidencia internacional publicada. En trabajadores japoneses se ha descrito una menor frecuencia de SD en quienes tienen AF regular, así como mejoras en la SD en participantes de un programa de AF (13) . Asimismo, estudios en adolescentes, adultos, mujeres en edad mediana y adultos mayores tienen resultados similares (6)(7)(8)(9) y se ha observado un efecto terapéutico de la AF en pacientes deprimidos (14) , el cual podría ser dosis dependiente (15) .…”

RESUMENCon el objetivo de evaluar si existe asociación entre el riesgo de depresión mayor (RDM) y la actividad física (AF) controlado por variables sociodemográficas y académicas en trabajadores que cursan estudios de pregrado en una universidad privada de Lima, se desarrolló un estudio de corte transversal analítico en 1111 personas. Se utilizó el inventario de depresión mayor y el cuestionario internacional de actividad física, para medir RDM y AF, respectivamente. La prevalencia de RDM fue 4,2 %. En el modelo de regresión de múltiples variables -ajustado por edad, sexo, desempleo y horas de sueño-la AF baja se asocia con un incremento de la odds de RDM (OR 2,15; IC 95%:1,16-4,00). Se concluye que existe asociación entre la RDM y la AF en la población estudiada, la cual es independiente de factores sociodemográficos y académicos. Se sugieren mejorar estrategias de tamizaje y el desarrollo de estudios longitudinales para evaluar causalidad.Palabras clave: Depresión; Actividad motora; Universidades; Trabajadores; Perú (fuente: DECS/BIREME). ASSOCIATION BETWEEN THE RISK OF MAJOR DEPRESSION AND LOW PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN PERUVIAN WORKERS STUDYING IN UNIVERSITIES ABSTRACTIn order to assess if an association exists between the risk of major depression (RMD) and physical activity (PA), controlling for demographic and academic variables in workers enrolled in undergraduate studies at a private university in Lima, Peru, we carried out a cross-sectional study of 1,111 people. We used the Major Depression Inventory (MDI) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to measure RMD and PA, respectively. RMD prevalence was 4.2%. In the multiple regression model adjusted for age, gender, unemployment and hours of sleep, low levels of PA were associated with increased odds of RDM (OR: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.16 to 4.00). We conclude that there is an association between RMD and PA in the study population, independent of demographic and academics factors. Strategies to improve screening and development of longitudinal studies to assess causality are suggested.

“…Inclusion criteria for this meta‐analysis required that depressive symptoms were measured at least 1 to 7 days post‐exercise such that the results were not biased by immediate post‐exercise changes. However, in another experimental study, increasing PA among already active adults did not provide the same benefits as it did for adults who were inactive at baseline (Ikenouchi‐Sugita et al, ). In an observational study conducted among a general (i.e., non‐clinical) college student population, higher levels of PA were reported among those students with lower self‐reported anhedonia, which is the diminished capacity to experience pleasure (Leventhal, 2012).…”

The purpose of the present paper is to provide a summary of scientific findings on the relationship between physical activity (PA) and affect. We provide separate narrative reviews of (a) the association between PA and well-being in the general population; (b) PA as a prophylactic and/or treatment for clinical depression; and (c) immediate affective response to individual PA sessions and the implications for adherence to PA programs. Findings suggest an association between engaging in regular PA and more positive well-being, decreased risk of future depression, and reduction of depressed mood among those who are already depressed. However, despite the fairly strong evidence for these associations, there is less evidence for causal effects of PA on well-being and depression. Individual sessions of PA generally result in positive shifts in affective valence from pre-PA to post-PA, but during PA, affective response is intensity-dependent, with considerable variability for moderate intensity PA. In sum, despite the "physical activity feels good" narrative often portrayed in the popular media, the relationship between PA and affect is complex and multifaceted.

“…The integration of Daoist philosophy in CBT was also in place for some Chinese organizations as an alternative intervention (Pan, 2009). In addition, novel treatment components (e.g., exercising, dieting) have also increased in popularity (Ikenouchi-Sugita et al, 2013;Yoshikawa, Nishi, & Matsuoka, 2015). We hypothesized that these alternative interventions with indigenous and novel components that can be easily weaved into the Asian culture and contemporary organizational settings would offer significant and unique therapeutic benefits to the Asian workforce in comparison with the conventional approaches developed in the West.…”

“…In parallel, the significant effect of alternative interventions could imply the importance of novel and indigenous treatment components for alleviating depression among the Asian working population. In this meta-analysis, the treatment components of the alternative interventions consisted of daily walking and exercise for Japanese workers (Ikenouchi-Sugita et al, 2013), Daoist cognitive therapy with acupoint massotherapy for Chinese workers (Pan, 2009), mindfulness-based intervention with yoga, body scans, mindful eating, and walking for South Korean workers (Song & Lindquist, 2015), and complementary and alternative medicine with relaxation and mindful exercises for Hong Kong workers (Tsang et al, 2015). All of these alternative interventions demonstrated some cultural adaptation and easy integration into the workers' lives and cultural contexts.…”

This meta-analysis is the first study conducted in Asia to quantitatively review the effectiveness of depression interventions in the Asian workplace. We identified 19 controlled intervention studies with a total sample size of 3,325 subjects representing different industry sectors in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, and South Korea. Interventions were coded as Cognitive-Behavioral, Multimodal, Alternative, Organizational, and Strength-Based, which were delivered face-to-face or mediated by a computer or telephone. Overall, the results of a pooled mean effect size (Cohen's d) of 0.417 (95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.257, 0.576]) revealed a significant and moderate positive effect of workplace interventions on the alleviation of depressive symptoms within the Asian workforce. This effectiveness could justify the increasing organizational need for investing in enhancing workplace mental health, as promoted by the World Health Organization. Moreover, ancillary moderator analyses in this study identified several key factors to further enhance the effectiveness of workplace interventions. Specifically, in addition to conventional cognitive-behavioral interventions, alternative and novel interventions with indigenous components and mediated interventions with interactive elements were found to have practical significance in the Asian workplace.
