Therefore, this study evaluated the correlation between low serum cholesterol and depression scale score in healthy persons at a general hospital.

Results: Binary logistic regression analysis of depression scale scores serum cholesterol, age, and sex showed that older men with lower serum cholesterol have a higher depression scale score.
Conclusion: Healthy older men with lower serum cholesterol have a higher depression scale score. Thus, it is more useful to screen the possibility of depression in elderly with low serum cholesterol level.
