Overview

Cross-sectional study identifies health behaviors affecting depression and quality of life in older adults, suggesting interventions targeting sleep disturbances.

Key Points

  • High rates of depression (38.4%) were found among older adults, significantly linked to low quality of life.
  • Hierarchical regression revealed that higher family income improved quality of life, while greater age had a negative impact.
  • Physical activity was positively associated with quality of life but negatively correlated with depression, highlighting its significance.
  • Depression served as a complete mediator in the relationship between sleep disturbance and quality of life, indicating a critical area for intervention.
