- W4387062435 abstract "The death of a spouse is one of the most important events in a person's life, and it is strongly associated with adverse diseases and mortality among older adults. PURPOSE: To assess differences in physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and mental health (MH) (i.e., depression, suicidal thoughts, and cognitive function) by marital status (i.e., married and widowed) within an aging population in South Korea. METHODS: PA, SB, and MH were evaluated in 9,092 older adults (Age = 74.1 ± 6.3 years, BMI = 23.5 ± 2.5 kg·m2; Mean ± SD) by comparing the married group (n = 5,773) to the widowed group (n = 3,319). Between-group differences in PA, SB, depression and cognitive function were tested using independent t-tests, and the association between marital status and gender was evaluated using two-way ANOVA. Suicidal thoughts were analyzed using a Mann-Whitney U-test, and statistical significance was determined at p < .05. RESULTS: Older adults in the widowed group participated in significantly less PA (married: 134.5 minutes; widowed: 103.2 minutes, p < .001) and higher SB (married: 27.2 hours; widowed: 31.1 hours, p < .001) per week, especially the widowed women (PA - married: 120.9 minutes; widowed: 98.0 minutes, p < .01; SB - married: 23.9 hours; widowed: 31.5 hours, p < .001). Participants in the widowed group experienced more depression (p < .001) and suicidal thoughts (p < .001) and had significantly lower cognitive function compared to participants in the married group (married: 25.0 points; widowed: 23.1 points, p < .001). Interestingly, men in the widowed group were more vulnerable to all MH factors compared to those in the married group ( p < .001, p < .05, p < .01, respectively), while women in the widowed group were only more vulnerable for depression and cognitive function compared to women in the married group (p < .001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Findings indicate that the presence of a spouse is strongly associated with PA, SB, and MH among older adults. Spouses are the primary social supports and play a major role in the health and emotional well-being of the aging population. Given the importance of the spouse, our study suggests that health educators working with older widows should prioritize several different forms of social support to benefit their physical and MH." @default.
