Correlation of sarcopenia and depressive mood in older community dwellers: a cross-sectional observational study in China by Lei Chen, Yunlu Sheng, Hanmei Qi, Tingting Tang, Jing Yu, Shan Lv

“…Multiple linear regression models revealed that depressive mood was inversely associated with chair stand test (β=0.325, p<0.001), gait speed (β=−0.009, p=0.041) and standing balance test (β=−0.24, p=0.016) after adjusting for confounding factors, while no significant correlation was observed between depressive mood and muscle mass.Conclusion The diagnostic components of sarcopenia—strength of the leg muscles (chair stand test) and physical performance (gait speed and standing balance test)—were associated with depressive mood.…”
