Abstract

This study aimed to investigate factors influencing depressive symptoms among middle-aged women based on walking and nonwalking. The participants of the study were 56,007 women aged 40-64 years. A complex sample statistical analysis was conducted. Notably, 48.9% of middle-aged women were in the walking group and 51.1% were in the nonwalking. In the nonwalking group, relative to the walking group, more people had high school diploma as their highest level of education, and were 40-49 years old, unemployed, and public assistance recipients than in the walking group. In addition, in the nonwalking group, more people had sleeping durations of less than 7 hours, perceived stress, and depressive symptoms than in the walking group. Factors influencing depressive symptoms were identified as less than 7 hours of sleeping duration and high perceived stress in both the walking and nonwalking groups, and the degree of influence was higher in the walking group than in the non-walking group, suggesting than further studies are needed to identify the cause. The results confirmed that perceived stress and depressive symptoms in middle-aged women could be reduced by walking. Therefore, if middle-aged women continue to engage in walking practices appropriate for them, it will enhance their walking rate, reduce stress, and improve their depressive symptoms.

본 연구는 중년여성의 걷기와 비걷기에 따른 우울증상 영향요인을 파악하고자 진행하였다. 2022년 지역사회건강조사에 참여한 40-64세의 여성 56,007명을 대상으로 복합표본 통계분석을 시행하였다. 그 결과, 중년여성의 걷기정도는 48.9%이었고 51.1%는 걷기를 하지 않았다. 비걷기군은 걷기군에 비해 40-49세, 고등학교 이하 졸업, 비취업자, 기초생활수급자가 많았다. 비걷기군은 7시간 이상의 수면, 높은 스트레스 인지, 우울 증상이 걷기군보다 높았으며 유의한 차이가 있었다. 우울증상 영향요인은 걷기군과 비걷기군 모두 7시간 미만의 수면과 높은 스트레스로 확인되었고 그 영향 정도가 걷기군이 비걷기군보다 높아 원인규명을 위한 후속연구가 필요하다. 이상의 결과, 중년여성의 스트레스와 우울 증상은 걷기를 통해 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였고 중년여성이 자신에게 적합한 걷기운동을 지속적으로 실천한다면 걷기 비율을 향상시키고 스트레스 완화와 우울 증상 개선에 기여할 것이다.
