The aim of this study was to compare depression, anxiety, stress, and resting physiological measurements (systolic blood pressure (S.B.P), diastolic blood pressure (D.B.P), pulse rate, and respiratory rate) between male and female patients with chronic lumbar spondylosis. The study included a total of 150 male participants (mean age: 60.03 ± 9.89 (yrs), mean body height: 1.73 ± 0.047 (m), mean body weight: 79.70 ± 7.01 (kg), and mean BMI: 26.59 ± 1.46 (kg/m2)) and 150 female participants (mean age: 59.35 ± 11.18 (yrs), mean body height: 1.66 ± 0.043 (m), mean body weight: 79.70 ± 7.01 (kg), and mean BMI: 27.408 ± 1.906 (kg/m2)). The participants belonged to the middle to elderly age group of 40-80 years. The study utilized a validated DASS 21 scale to measure the levels of depression, anxiety, and stress in patients with chronic lumbar spondylosis. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the (SPSS) version 22.0. The results revealed statistically significant differences (P = .01) between males and females in terms of depression and stress levels. However, no significant differences were observed for anxiety (P = .228) between males and females.
