Résumé
Background
Depressive symptoms are common among older adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and may be associated with both physical and psychological factors. However, the combined associations of comorbidity burden, sarcopenia risk, handgrip strength and diabetes distress with depressive symptom severity remain insufficiently examined.
Objective
To identify factors associated with depressive symptom scores among older adults with T2DM.
