| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an intervention with an exercise program on the improvement of mental health among community-dwelling older adults. Participants in the intervention group received an exercise program that was developed for older adults using Thera-Band. To measure participants’ mental health status, a Japanese version of the short form of the Profile of Mood States (POMS-SF) and stress markers (salivary cortisol, alpha-amylase and sIgA) were measured. No significant differences between the intervention and control groups with respect to POMS-SF score and salivary biomarker profile at baseline. After the intervention, the intervention group showed a significant decrease in the POMS-SF “fatigue” score and in cortisol level. No significant changes were observed in the control group. It is suggested that exercise has an improvement effect on the mental health of elderly.
