Childhood fitness linked to lower adult depression risk
Original: Childhood fitness linked to lower risk of adult depression
New research reported by Medical Xpress suggests that children who are physically fit have a lower risk of developing depression as adults. The findings add to growing evidence that early-life physical activity has lasting mental health benefits, and may encourage parents, schools and policymakers to prioritise fitness and exercise programmes for children.
Why now: A newly reported study links childhood fitness to reduced adult depression risk, drawing attention to the long-term value of youth exercise.
