Core Tip	This study explores the relationship between sarcopenia, depressive symptoms, and physical activity levels in older adults. It highlights the high prevalence of sarcopenia and its association with mental health and lifestyle factors. Depressive symptoms may worsen muscle loss, while appropriate physical activity, especially resistance and aerobic exercises, can help prevent and alleviate the condition. The findings aim to support early detection and targeted interventions, offering important insights for public health strategies.
