“…Decreased physical activity [30,31], increased oxidative stress [32,33], increased falling risk, which caused immobility [34,35], malnutrition [4,36], and dysregulated hormonal cycles [37,38] were some of the common risk factors suggested [39] in the literature. While some articles in recent years report the relationship between sarcopenia components and depression [5,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21], some of them reported that there is no relationship between sarcopenia components and depression [9][10][11][12][13]. We think there are several points to discuss our results here.…”

“…When examining the direct relationship between depression and sarcopenia, these conditions should be excluded. Despite this, many studies have been conducted with depression screening scales and conditions that may cause depressive symptoms have not been excluded [5,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Our preference for strict exclusion criteria while selecting the participants might be the reason why we did not find an independent relationship between sarcopenia components and depression.…”

“…The MNA mean score was 25.1 ± 3. The MNA median score was 26 [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. More than one in five of the participants were classified as at MNR (21.2%) or MN (0.5%).…”

“…On the other hand, the results of the studies investigating the relationship between sarcopenia and depression are controversial. Some researchers found no relationship between sarcopenia and depression in older adults [9][10][11][12][13]. However, other researchers suggested an association with depressive symptoms and diagnosis of sarcopenia [5,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Objective: We investigate the relationship between sarcopenia components and depression in geriatric outpatients, considering the effects of potential confounding factors. Methods: Adults !60 years of age were selected from outpatient clinics. Muscle strength was assessed using handgrip strength (HGS) measured using a hydraulic hand dynamometer and chair stand test (CSST). Physical performance was evaluated by usual gait speed (UGS), nutritional status, and frailty were screened by mini-nutritional assessment (MNA) questionnaire and FRAIL scale. Depression was diagnosed through a psychiatric interview and the administration of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Results: Participants with depression were similar to participants without depression regarding age (p ¼ .055), education (p ¼ .095), frailty (p ¼ .857), and HGS scores (p ¼ .053). The group with depression had longer CSST duration (p ¼ .023), slower UGS (p ¼ .027), and more malnutrition (p ¼ .001). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that only the malnutrition was independently associated factor with depression after adjusting for confounding factors. Conclusions: Depression is associated with malnutrition and some components of sarcopenia in geriatric outpatients. Our results revealed that sarcopenia might be associated with depression through malnutrition. If malnutrition lasts for a long time, sarcopenia may become evident in the later stages of depression.

Introduction and objective. Depression is among the most common diseases in the elderly. It affects ca. 15-20% of people aged over 65 years. The symptomatology of depression is manifested mainly by decreased mood, intellectual skills, concentration and self-esteem, anhedonia, change in appetite, sleep disorders, and the feeling of fatigue and loss of energy. The aim of the article is to assess the impact of depression on the quality of life in elderly people. Materials and method. The anonymous study involved 140 (100%) hospitalized patients of a geriatric ward, most of whom (73.57%) were women. The respondents were 65-88 years old, with the largest group (54.29%) in the age range 76-85 years. Results. Mild depression was found in 37.86%, and severe depression in 12.14% of the respondents. Most seniors (42.14%) assessed their quality of life as good. More than half of the subjects (55.71%) declared self-assurance, 45.00% rarely experienced low spirits, despair, fear, or decreased mood, 40.00% were not satisfied with their health, 37.14% were not satisfied with their sleep quality, in 22.14% pain significantly influenced their everyday life. Patients with depression indicated worse assessments of their quality of life in the somatic, psychological, social, and environmental domains (p < 0.001). Statistically significant relationships were observed between quality of life assessment in the somatic domain and the seniors' health status (p < 0.05), as well as between quality of life assessment in the environmental domain and the number of diseases (p = 0.034). Conclusions. Patients with depression scored their quality of life worse in all domains. In elderly people, quality of life depends on their health status and the number of diagnosed diseases. Seniors living with families indicated better assessments of their quality of life.
