Abstract

The ageing population places significant strain on healthcare systems and poses a substantial economic burden worldwide. Whilst many governments encourage older adults to remain active, participating in enough physical activity to afford health benefits can be challenging. Participation in regular physical activity has been associated with a range of health benefits, including improved mental health and, in particular, a reduction of depressive symptoms. Studies examining this association in older men are, however, sparse.
