Abstract in brief

  • Mild hyponatremia in elderly people is linked to decreased muscle mass, weaker grip strength, slower walking speed, and higher depression scores.
  • The study found that hyponatremia independently increases the risk of sarcopenia, slower walking speed, shorter one-leg standing time, and severe depressive mood but not necessarily reduced muscle mass or grip strength.
  • Overall, even mild hyponatremia is associated with physical and mental health impairments in the elderly.
