Abstract

Introduction: There was evidence of a correlation between changes in muscle mass and mental health. Depression, stress, anxiety, sleep quality, and smoking are all aspects of one's mental lifestyle. The current study sought to evaluate the association between muscle mass and intangible mental lifestyle variables in a population of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences employees. Methods: This study used PERSIAN cohort data from 4572 Mashhad University of Medical Sciences employees aged 30 to 70 years who volunteered for the employee health-monitoring plan. Results: The results showed that factors, such as DASS21 (P=0.002, β= -0.047), PSQI (P<0.001, β= -0.064) and smoking (P<0.001, β= -0.207), had significant negative relationships with skeletal muscle mass index. Conclusions: With a high R2, the structural model of the final hypothesis shows remarkable validity. The results of this study demonstrated a strong correlation between skeletal muscle mass and mental lifestyle factors, such as smoking, sleep hygiene, and mental health. In the current study, the most significant relationship is related to smoking.
