LIFE-G Program for Reducing Depression in Older Adult in South Korea

This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of the LIFE-G (Lifestyle Intervention For Everyone-Group) program in reducing depression among community-dwelling older adults. A one-group pretest-posttest design was used to evaluate the effects of an eight-session, 4-week lifestyle intervention focusing on physical activity, eating habits, social relationships, and social participation. Pre- and post-tests using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test were conducted to assess depression, multifaceted lifestyle, and self-efficacy. After the intervention, participants showed improvements in depression, self-efficacy, and multifaceted lifestyle. The LIFE-G program may be feasible for reducing depression among community-dwelling older adults.
