Core Tip	Early monitoring of psychosocial disorders is crucial for mental health care. Muscle quality index (MQI) is a promising indicator of physical health, fitness, and mental well-being. While there is no conclusive evidence to establish a direct link between MQI and depression. In this study, a large-scale and representative sample of the American population revealed that sex differences existed in the association between the MQI and depression. Females with a higher MQI might exhibit a decreased likelihood of developing symptoms of depression and it might potentially serve as a safeguard against the onset of depression in females.
