BODY COMPOSITION IN SEDENTARY ELDERLY WOMEN AND THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ADIPOSE TISSUE AND DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS
Twenty-five sedentary women (52 ± 4.5 years) had their body composition measured using the Tanita MC-780MA, and then completed the Depression Scale of the Center for Epidemiological Studies (CES - D).

| Summary: | Twenty-five sedentary women (52 ± 4.5 years) had their body composition
measured using the Tanita MC-780MA, and then completed the Depression Scale
of the Center for Epidemiological Studies (CES - D). The purpose of the article
was to observe if there are correlations between adipose tissue and the level of
depressive symptoms. At the end of the study a positive correlation was also found
between depression scale and metabolic age, r = .75, p < .001. A positive
correlation was found between depression scale and visceral fat, r = .79, p < .001,
and the same was found between depression scale and trunk fat (r = .75, p < .001),
right arm fat (r = .82, p < .001), right leg fat (r = 82, p < .001), left leg fat (r = .82, p
< .001). |
