Unsafe practices on yourself and other physical
Answers
The potential connection between depressive symptoms and poor health and safety practices, which may further contribute to risk of injury, disability and illness, has not been fully delineated (Cannella & Scoloveno, 2003; Yarcheski, Mahon, Yarcheski, & Cannella, 2004). Many studies investigating this relationship have focused solely on young people (Allgöwer, Wardle, & Steptoe, 2001; Babiss & Gangwisch, 2009; Mahon, Yarcheski, & Yarcheski, 2001; Melnyk et al., 2006; Yarcheski, Mahon, & Yarcheski, 2004), while those investigating adults have been limited by the practices assessed (i.e. physical activity alone) (Farmer, Locke, Moscicki, Dannenberg, Larson & Radloff, 1988) or their restricted study samples (Igna, Julkunen, Vanhanen, Keskivaara, & Verkasalo, 2008; Bonnet, Irving, Terra, Nony, Berthezene & Moulin, 2005; Gazmararian, Baker, Parker, & Blazer, 2000). Only one population-based study has examined a wide variety of health practices among a large sample of adults of all ages (Strine, Mokdad, Dube, Balluz, Gonzalez, Berry & Kroenke, 2008), finding positive associations between current or lifetime depression and smoking, physical inactivity, binge drinking, and heavy drinking.
