A new discussion for 'The projected effect of increasing physical activity on reducing the prevalence of common mental disorders among Canadian men and women: A national population-based community study'

摘要

Meng and D'Arcy (2013) carried out a cross-sectional study in Canada and reported that persons with various mental disorders are more likely to be physically inactive than other people. From this they conclude that physical inactivity is an important cause of mental disorders. Unfortunately, they have badly misinterpreted their own data.
