Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the association of handgrip strength (HGS) with depression in older adults. Methods: This study was secondary data analysis using data from the 9th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), including 2,010 participants aged 60 and above. A complex sample multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association of HGS with depression. Results: HGS decreased with age and was lower in women compared to men. The decline in HGS with aging was relatively steeper in men than in women. Additionally, older adults with low HGS were 2.76 times more likely to experience depression. Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of preserving muscle strength in older adults as a potential strategy for reducing the risk of depression. This study provides valuable insights for public health strategies aimed at preventing muscle strength loss to manage depression among older adults. Further work has been proposed to explore the causal relationship between HGS and depression in older adults.
