Depression is currently the most prevalent mental illness in the world. It is a very frequent geriatric syndrome that causes a high degree of disability and increases mortality in the elderly population. This mental disorder is a social and public health problem that alters the quality of life (Qol) of the patient. Physical strength work has been reported to improve the clinical picture of people with depression.
To determine the relationship between lower body strength, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), depression status and body mass index (BMI) in older women with depression.
A cross-sectional descriptive study with 685 elder women with depression.
A mild direct correlation (Rho = -0.29; ≤ 0.001) between stand-ip test and EQ-5D-3L test was shown. There is a mild inverse correlation between stand-up test and six of fifteen items of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (Rho item 1 = -0.24; ≤ 0.001; item 4 = 0.11; ≤ 0.001; item 5 = -0.20; ≤ 0.001; item 7 = -0.15; ≤ 0.001; item 11 = -0.19; ≤ 0.001; item 13 = -0.21; ≤ 0.001). Between Stand-Up test and BMI, the correlation is weak inverse (Rho = -0.20; ≤ 0.001).
There is a significant association of lower body strength with HRQoL, and BMI, as well as some variables of depression status in elder women with depression. Better scores in the stand-up test lead to an improvement in HRQoL and BMI. Therefore, stand-up test could be a complementary tool in public health for improve HRQoL in the elderly women with depression.
抑郁症是目前世界上最普遍的精神疾病。它是一种非常常见的老年综合征，会导致高度残疾并增加老年人群的死亡率。这种精神障碍是一个社会和公共卫生问题，会改变患者的生活质量（Qol）。据报道，体力活动可改善抑郁症患者的临床症状。
确定患有抑郁症的老年女性的下肢力量、健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）、抑郁状态和体重指数（BMI）之间的关系。
对685名患有抑郁症的老年女性进行横断面描述性研究。
站立测试与EQ-5D-3L测试之间存在轻度正相关（Rho = -0.29；≤0.001）。站立测试与老年抑郁量表（GDS）十五项中的六项之间存在轻度负相关（项目1的Rho = -0.24；≤0.001；项目4的Rho = 0.11；≤0.001；项目5的Rho = -0.20；≤0.001；项目7的Rho = -0.15；≤0.001；项目11的Rho = -0.19；≤0.001；项目13的Rho = -0.21；≤0.001）。站立测试与BMI之间的相关性为轻度负相关（Rho = -0.20；≤0.001）。
患有抑郁症的老年女性的下肢力量与HRQoL、BMI以及抑郁状态的一些变量之间存在显著关联。站立测试得分越高，HRQoL和BMI越好。因此，站立测试可能是公共卫生领域改善患有抑郁症的老年女性HRQoL的一种辅助工具。
