Abstract

Vitamin D is a micronutrient required by the body. Vitamin D has various functions, including its potential to prevent depression. There are studies suggesting that people with depression are at risk of vitamin D deficiency. This study discusses the correlation between vitamin D and depression.  This is a cross-sectional study designed to investigate the relationship between vitamin D levels and depression in elderly (≥ 60 years) residing at Bina Bhakti Nursing Home. Participants who meet the criteria underwent measurement of vitamin D levels and assessment for depression using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Spearman correlation is used as the statistical analysis to evaluate the relationship between variables. 93 respondents met the criteria with average age of 74.19 years (61-97 years). 77 respondents were female (82.8%) and 16 respondents (17.2%) were male. The mean vitamin D level was 9.78 ng/ml (1.07-25.6ng/mL) and the mean GDS score was 4.51 (0-15). The results of the analysis showed a significant negative correlation between vitamin D levels and GDS scale (-0.287, p-value=0.005). Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased GDS scores, indicating that it is important for the elderly to fulfill their vitamin D needs as an preventive measure against depression

Abstract

ABSTRACT Depression in the elderly is a multifaceted issue influenced by various physiological factors. This study investigates the correlation between muscle strength, calf circumference, Vitamin D, and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) levels and their collective impact on depression among the elderly.  This study aims to understand the correlation between muscle strength, calf circumference, Vitamin D, and IGF-1 levels on depression to develop targeted interventions to improve mental health outcomes in this demographic. This cross-sectional study involved 82 older people at RPTRA Krendang. Depression is measured using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Data were analyzed using Spearman's Rho to see the Correlation between Muscle Strength, Calf Circumference, Vitamin D, and IGF-1 on Depression in the Elderly. The study found most respondents were female (78%), with an average age of 74.34 years, and according to the Geriatric Depression Scale, the majority (59.8%) of respondents were normal. This study highlighted significant correlations between muscle strength, calf circumference, and decreased Vitamin D and IGF-1 levels with higher depression scores. These findings suggest that diminished physical health markers and nutrient deficiencies are associated with increased depressive symptoms in the elderly. Measuring muscle strength, calf circumference, Vitamin D, and IGF-1 levels is a good approach to understanding depression in the elderly that will lead to effective interventions by health workers and improve quality of life. Keywords: Calf Circumference; Depression; IGF-1; Muscle Strength; Vitamin D.
