| description | [Objective] To explore the relationship between depressive symptoms, social support and sarcopenia in the elderly, and to test the mediating effect of social support between depressive symptoms and sarcopenia. [Methods] A total of 1 040 elderly people were investigated with the general information questionnaire, geriatric depression scale-5, social support rating scale and strength, assistance with walking, rise from a chair, climb stairs and falls.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between depressive symptoms, social support and sarcopenia.Multiple stepwise regression analysis and AMOS26.0 were used to construct a structural equation model and verify the mediating effect of social support between depressive symptoms and sarcopenia. [Results] The elderly’s social support score was (39.65±6.73)scores, including objective support was(9.94 ±2.76)scores, subjective support (21.55±3.96) scores, and support utilization was(8.17±1.97)scores; 26.35% of the elderly had depressive symptoms and 16.25% had sarcopenia.The mediating effect of social support was 0.068 (95% CI: 0.047-0.209), accounting for 25.37% of the total effect. [Conclusion] Depressive symptoms in the elderly are an important influencing factor of sarcopenia.Social support plays a partial mediator role between depression and sarcopenia.Improving social support in the elderly is an effective way to reduce sarcopenia. |
