Abstract
Purpose At present, it is not clear about the influence of health-promoting lifestyle, aging perceptions, social support, and
other psychosocial factors on elderly depression. This study aims to explore the mediating role of aging perceptions between
health-promoting lifestyle and elderly depression, and the moderating role of social support in the mediating process.
Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 359 elderly people in six districts of a city. The Chinese version
of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-IIR), the Brief Aging Perceptions Questionnaire (B-PQ), the Center
for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-DR), and the Social Support Rate Scale (SSRS) were conducted and
recollected on the spot. Stepwise analysis was used to test the mediating effect and moderating effect, and age and gender
variables were controlled.
Results The results showed the following: (1) health-promoting lifestyle is an important influencing factor of elderly depres-
sion; (2) aging perceptions plays a mediating role in the relationship between health-promoting lifestyle and elderly depres-
sion, accounting for 31.8% of the total utility; and (3) social support plays a moderating role between aging perceptions and
elderly depression, with a high level of social support. The effect of aging perceptions on depression is less than that of the
elderly with low social support level.
Conclusion Health-promoting lifestyle influence the depression of elderly people through aging perceptions and social sup-
port moderates the influence of aging perceptions on the elderly depression.
