Sponsor's own description

In a world where the population is aging, strategies are required that promote physical, social and mental health in these age groups. Depression associated with biological aging is evidenced by clinical findings and biological markers in the course of the disease (such is the case of the GDF-15). The presence of mental health disorders, such as depression, favors the risk of premature mortality (even 25 years less than the general population, even controlling for the suicide variable. In addition, older adult patients with depression have a higher risk of presenting chronic diseases, immunological alterations, and neurocognitive disorders , favoring accelerated aging that contributes to a reduction in their intrinsic and functional capacities. (51) . GDF -15 has been proposed as a pro-aging protein , specifically promoted by mitochondrial dysfunction, which in turn leads to accelerated aging through oxidative stress. In addition, considering that mental health requires care through therapies with the necessary scientific evidence to have an impact on the mental and physical health of older adults, therefore , Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is proposed as a way to lead to healthy aging that promotes less oxidative stress derived from the same depression. Therefore, the purpose of this study is focused on demonstrating the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy implemented for twelve weeks in a group of older adults with and without depression, and evaluating it considering the serum levels of GDF- 15 .
