Abstract
Weaker handgrip strength is associated with higher odds for depression in LMICs. Future research should seek to establish the predictive value of this inexpensive measure for clinical use. Furthermore, interventional studies should examine if muscular strength can be a target of resistance-training interventions to address depressive symptoms in low-resourced settings.
