Objective: Depressive symptoms and poor nutritional status have been associated with declines in physical capacity. However. it is not clear whether they exert independent effects and potential for interaction among these two variables has not been studied. The purpose of this report is to clarify the relationships between depressive symptoms and nutritional risk and physical capacity. Methods: Baseline data from community-living and well functioning men and women (n = 1,755) participating in the longitudinal study NuAge (Quebec, Canada), aged 67-84 years were used for this study. Physical performance (PP) was defined as the summary score of 4 tests of physical capacity [Standing Balance, Walking Speed, Chair Stands. and Tirned Up &,Go]. Depressive symptoms were measured with the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and nutritional risk by the Elderly Nutrition Screening (FNS (c)) tool. Results: Prevalence of mild depression (GDS score >= 11 and <= 20) wits 12% in women and 7.6% in men (p = 0.002). Higher PP was observed among subjects without nutritional risk or mild depression (mean score: 10.45 +/- 3.45) as compared to those with both risk factors (8.66 +/- 3.59: p < 0.001). In multiple linear regression analysis. both depressive symptoms and nutritional risk scores were independently associated with PP score after adjustment for age, sex. educational level, income. burden of disease. body mass index and physical activity. There wits no interaction of nutritional risk and depressive symptoms in relation to PP. The overall adjusted Multiple regression model explained 34% of the observed variance in physical performance score. Conclusions: Nutritional risk and depressive symptoms are both potentially modifiable independent correlates of PP but there is no synergistic effect of the two risk factors.
