This preliminary study aimed to investigate the relationship between depressive symptoms and physical activity patterns in older adults residing in care facilities, with a focus on diurnal trends. A cross-sectional study involving 14 participants (mean age: 84.3 ± 5.6 years) was conducted between January and February 2023 at “Care House Ikeda” in Neyagawa City, Osaka Prefecture. Data on physical activity were collected using accelerometer devices worn continuously for seven consecutive days. The 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale was used to assess the depressive symptoms. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 42.9%, and the average daily step count was 1304. Participants with depressive symptoms exhibited significantly lower levels of light-intensity physical activity, a pattern notably pronounced in the afternoon. Engaging in light-intensity physical activity alleviated depressive symptoms in older adults in facilities. Individuals experiencing depressive symptoms exhibited reduced activity levels, particularly in the afternoon. Further exploration into the effects of light-intensity physical activity is warranted.
