“…Men have higher concentration of anabolic hormones, such as testosterone, which contributes to greater muscle strength among men than women 61,62 . Prior evidence confirmed that the risk of depression and decline in HGS increases with age 63,64 and muscle strength is associated with poor mental health and suicidal thoughts among older people 53,65,66 . Our findings are in line with prior affirmation 18,51,52 that pointed out those with lower HGS were at a greater risk of developing depressive symptoms than those with strong HGS.…”

Background Handgrip strength (HGS) is a frequent and general indicator of muscle strength and it may affect several aspects of mental health among older people. This study explored the association of HGS with depression and cognitive impairment among community‐dwelling older adults in resource‐constrained setting of India. Method Data were drawn from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI), and the analysis was conducted on 27,707 older adults aged 60 years and above. Outcome measures included depression (assessed by the Short Form Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI‐SF) and the Center for Epidemiological Studies‐Depression (CES‐D) scales) and cognitive impairment. Descriptive statistics and mean scores of HGS were reported and multivariable linear regression analyses were conducted to test the research hypotheses of the study. Results Mean score of HGS was 24.33 (SD: 7.22) for males and 15.94 (SD: 5.14) for females. Mean age was 68.86 (SD: 7.19) and 68.40 (SD: 7.31) years among males and females respectively. Older participants who had weak HGS were significantly more likely to be depressed in CIDI‐SF scale (B: 0.06, CI: 0.01–0.13) and CES‐D scale (B: 0.02, CI: 0.01–0.03) in comparison to those who had strong HGS after adjusting for a large number of confounders. Older participants who had weak HGS were significantly more likely (B: 0.92, CI: 0.76–1.07) to have cognitive impairment compared to those who had strong HGS. Conclusion The findings highlight the independent association of HGS with major depression, depressive symptoms and cognitive impairment that have implications on promoting resistance‐training programs among aged population.

“…In this study, sample weights were adjusted according to the recommendations of the NCHS. To present nationally representative estimates, survey analysis procedures were used to account for the sample weights (MEC exam weight), stratification, and clustering of the complex sampling design ( 34 ). We calculated the sample weight for the 8 years of data from 1999 to 2006 as WT 99–06 = (1/4) × WT 05–06 + (1/4) × WT 03–04 +(1/2) × WT 99–02 , WT 99–02 is the variable WTMEC4YR from the NHANES 1999–2000 and NHANES 2001–2002; WT 03–04 and WT 05–06 were the variable WTMEC2YR from the NHANES 2003–2004 and NHANES 2005–2006 demographic file, respectively ( 35 , 36 ).…”

ObjectiveTo study the association between anthropometric indexes [lipid accumulation products (LAP), visceral obesity index (VAI), triglyceride and glucose index (TyG) and waist triglyceride index (WTI)] and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a representative sample of American adult population surveyed by National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).MethodsCross-sectional data from the NHANES were used. Participants were adults aged 18–80 y from 1996–2006. MetS were defined by the updated National Cholesterol Education Program/Adult Treatment Panel III criteria (NCEP-ATP III) for Americans. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn and the areas under the curve (AUC) were used to assess the ability of these indexes in screening MetS. Statistical differences among the AUC values of these indexes were compared. The association between the anthropometric indexes and MetS was investigated using weighted multivariable-adjusted logistic regression.Results560 (35.2%) males and 529 (26.4%) females were diagnosed with MetS. LAP was the strongest predictor of MetS for men (AUC=0.87, 95% CI 0.85-0.89), and also was the strongest for women [AUC=0.85, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.83-0.86], according to the ROC curve analysis. In men, differences in AUC values between LAP and other anthropometric indicators were also significant (all P<0.001). In women, there was a significant difference in AUC values between LAP and WTI (P<0.001), but differences in AUC values between LAP and TyG, VAI were not significant.ConclusionThe present study indicated that LAP is a better predictor in the clinical setting for identifying individuals with MetS in the American adult population.

“…The presentation of continuous variables was divided according to their distribution status. Weighted means (standard error) were calculated for continuous variables, and weighted frequency percentages were calculated for categorical variables [ 15 ]. Chi-squared test or Kruskal-Wallis H test was employed to different TyG index quartile groups.…”

The association between triglyceride glucose index and depression: data from NHANES 2005–2018

Background The association between triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and depression is unclear. We conducted this analysis to explore whether higher TyG index is associated with a higher odd of depression. Methods This was an observational study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005–2018), a cross-sectional and nationally representative database. Depression was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). TyG index was calculated based on the equation as follows: ln [triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting blood glucose (mg/dL)/2], and participants were divided into quartiles based on TyG index. Weighted multivariable logistic regression models were used to explore the relationship between the TyG index and depression. Results A total of 13,350 patients were included, involving 1001 (7.50%) individuals with depression. Higher TyG index is significantly associated with elevated depressive symptoms in U.S. adults. Multivariate-adjusted HRs for patients in the TyG index 4th quartile were higher for depression (OR = 1.46; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.30, 1.64) compared with the 1st quartile of TyG index. Similar results were seen in men and women, across age groups, and baseline comorbidities. Conclusion In this large cross-sectional study, our result suggests that population with higher TyG index are significantly more likely to have depressive symptoms in U.S. adults.
