Use of multicomponent structured exercise to improve depression in older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To summarize the characteristics, estimate the efficacy of multicomponent structured exercise (MSE) intervention on older adults' depression, and investigate its potential moderators.

Methods

MEDLINE, PubMed, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science and Embase databases were searched from January 1, 2000 to June 1, 2024. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that included MSE intervention with aerobic, resistance and balance components targeting older adults, and reported depression as an outcome were selected. Random-effects meta-analyses were used to calculate effect sizes from the standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). Meta-regression was conducted to identify the potential moderators.

Results

Data were extracted from 19 studie
