Key result
Independent of aerobic physical activity, anaerobic muscle strengthening activity was significantly associated with lower odds of depression in women (OR 0.59) and men (OR 0.72).
Why the study?
Does anaerobic muscle strengthening physical activity reduce depression severity in USA adults?
Population
USA adults (men and women, including subgroups under 50 years old)

Muscle strengthening was associated with lower depression odds independent of aerobics; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Does anaerobic muscle strengthening physical activity reduce depression severity in USA adults?
Odds Ratio: 0.59 (95% CI 0.43–0.8)
Independent of aerobic physical activity, anaerobic muscle strengthening activity is significantly associated with lower odds of depression among US adults.
Cangin et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Depression (n=7,354). Anaerobic muscle strengthening physical activity vs. No anaerobic muscle strengthening activity was evaluated on Depression (PHQ9 ≥ 10) in all women (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.43-0.80). Independent of aerobic physical activity, anaerobic muscle strengthening activity was significantly associated with lower odds of depression in women (OR 0.59) and men (OR 0.72).
