| Summary: | Background: By the year of 2020, the elderly population in Indonesia will
be expected the fourth highest number in the world after China, India and
the USA. Special Region of Yogyakarta in Indonesia has the highest
percentage that is equal to 13.72%. Depression may increase the risk of
mortality, disability and physical activity motivation. Hand grip strength test
is a valid method of examination, consistent and simple to assess muscle
strength, and low grip strength can increase mortality and morbidity in the
elderly.
Objective: This study aimed to assess correlation between depressive
symptoms and grip strength in the elderly population in nursing homes at
province of Yogyakarta.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in October 2010 at the
nursing home residents. Depression was assessed by the Geriatric
Depression Scale 30 Cronbach�s alpha 0,88. Handgrip strength was
measured with a handgrip dynamometer. Data of age, education, gender was
collected by questionnaire. We performed statistical tests to assess the
correlation of symptoms of depression and grip strength.
Results: The mean age of subjects was 73.84 ± 8.36 years with 36 subjects
(35.3%) were between 60-69 years and 66 subjects (64.7%) were over 70
years. There were 33 men (32.4%) and 69 women (67.6%). Mean GDS
score was 12.76 ± 3.22. Handgrip strength in the depression group 16.94 ±
6.96 kg, higher than the non-depressed group 15.23 ± 6.79. There is
correlation between severity of depression symptom with handgrip strength
with r = 0.235 (weak correlation) and significant by statistically p = 0.017.
Conclusion: The severity of depressive symptom scores it was correlated
significantly to the handgrip strength in elderly nursing homes in the
province of Yogyakarta. |
