Title in different languages: Effects of physical exercise on depression in people aged 60 or over with unwanted loneliness: a systematic review
Abstract: Unwanted loneliness and depression are common in people ≥60 years. This systematic review of RCTs (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, 2015–2025) included five studies after screening 1138 records (353 titles/abstracts, 53 full texts). Risk of bias was assessed using RoB2. All five trials showed significant reductions in depression; only one reported clear improvements in anxiety. Group interventions decreased loneliness and increased social support, while individual interventions improved physical function. Future RCTs with larger samples, longer follow-ups, and standardized protocols are recommended
