Huang Y, Chen X, Cai X. The non-linear association between depression scores and all-cause mortality: a cohort study based on NHANES 2005-2018 data. Sci Rep 2025; 15:15492. [PMID: 40319084 PMCID: PMC12049539 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-00366-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2025] [Accepted: 04/28/2025] [Indexed: 05/07/2025] Open
Abstract
Depression is an important public health problem and its association with mortality has been studied extensively. However, the relationship between different levels of depression and death in adults is not well understood. This study aimed to explore the association between depression scores and all-cause mortality in US adults. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from 2005 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Depression was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and all-cause mortality was the primary outcome. Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine the association between depression scores and mortality. A two-piece wise linear regression model was used to examine the threshold effect. A total of 36,393 participants with a mean age of 47.9 years (SD = 18.8) were included. The median follow-up time was 89 months, during which time 3,644 (10.01%) deaths occurred. When the depression score was below 7, each unit increase in the score was associated with a 6% increased in the risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.05-1.08, P < 0.0001). The results of this study show a non-linear association between depression scores and all-cause mortality among adults in the United States. Increased depression scores were associated with increased mortality. However, these findings need to be further validated by further research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Depression is common among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) which is a major global health concern. This umbrella review aims to explore differences in reported depression prevalence among people with type 2 diabetes and to identify the factors contributing to the variation. METHODS A literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO and Cochrane. We included systematic reviews with or without a meta-analysis that investigated the prevalence of depression in adult patients (age 18 years or older) with T2D. Two independent reviewers screened titles and abstracts. The following data were extracted: study characteristics, depression assessment approach, and depression prevalence from systematic reviews and each primary study. FINDINGS Of the 23 systematic reviews meeting inclusion criteria, comprising 649 unique primary studies, pooled depression prevalence ranged from 8.9 % to 61.6 %, with substantial heterogeneity (I2 values ranged from 89.41 % to 99.96 %). Studies conducted in the African (0.11 [95%CI 0.04-0.17]), Eastern Mediterranean (0.19 [95%CI 0.15-0.24]) and South-East Asia (0.08 [95%CI 0.03-0.13]) reported higher prevalence compared to the Americas. Additionally, studies utilizing screenings other than the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) exhibited lower prevalence rates (between -22 % and -0.10 %). CONCLUSION The burden of depression was high among people with T2D. Substantial variation was found in the prevalence of depression among individuals with T2D, depending on the WHO region and the depression assessment approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a lack of evidence on effective treatments for depression in people with T2DM, particularly in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). This study aims to test the feasibility and acceptability of a culturally adapted Behavioural Activation (BA) intervention (DiaDeM) for people with depression and T2DM in two South Asian LMICs. METHODS A multicountry, individually randomised-controlled feasibility trial was conducted from March 2022 to November 2022. We recruited adults from diabetes healthcare facilities in Bangladesh and Pakistan with a diagnosis of depression and T2DM. Consenting individuals were randomised to either optimised usual care or the DiaDeM intervention, which comprised six BA sessions delivered by non-mental health facilitators over six to twelve weeks. Participants were followed up at three and six months post-randomisation. The feasibility and acceptability of recruitment and retention, intervention delivery, and data collection were assessed. A mixed-methods process evaluation was also performed to inform the main trial. RESULTS The DiaDeM feasibility trial successfully recruited 128 participants, with 85 % retention at six months follow-up. The majority of participants engaged with the intervention, demonstrating good adherence to the Behavioural Activation (BA) sessions. Data completeness for key outcomes, including depression severity and HbA1c levels, was high across all time points (>90 %). The process evaluation showed high acceptability of the intervention, with participants reporting increased motivation and improved management of both T2DM and depression. DISCUSSION Good recruitment and retention rates, completeness of data collection, and high acceptability of the intervention showed that it would be feasible to undertake a full-scale trial.

Risk of mortality and complications in people with depressive disorder and diabetes mellitus: A 20-year population-based propensity score-matched cohort study. Eur Neuropsychopharmacol 2025; 92:10-18. [PMID: 39616972 DOI: 10.1016/j.euroneuro.2024.11.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2024] [Revised: 11/20/2024] [Accepted: 11/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2025]
Abstract
People with depression have increased premature mortality and elevated prevalence of diabetes-mellitus compared to general population. However, risk of mortality and diabetes-related complications among patients with depression and co-occurring diabetes is under-studied. This population-based propensity score-matched (1:10) cohort study identified 12,175 patients with pre-existing depression and incident-diabetes (depression-diabetes group) and 117,958 patients with incident-diabetes only (diabetes-only group) between 2002 and 2021 in Hong-Kong, using territory-wide medical-record database of public-healthcare services, to investigate whether depression increased the risk of overall mortality, complications and post-complication mortality in people with diabetes. Associations of depression with all-cause mortality, complication and post-complication all-cause mortality rates were examined by Cox proportional-hazards model. Complications were assessed by Diabetes-Complications-Severity-Index (DCSI). Associations of complications, in terms of DCSI scores (complication burden), specific types and two-way combinations of complications (complication patterns) with all-cause mortality rate in depression were also examined. Our results showed that depression-diabetes group exhibited increased all-cause mortality risk (adjusted hazards-ratio: 1.06 [95 %CI: 1.02-1.10]) relative to diabetes-only group, particularly among men and older age group, with significantly higher rate of experiencing neuropathy (1.44 [1.27-1.62]) and metabolic complications (1.30 [1.09-1.56]) and lower likelihood of peripheral-vascular complications, retinopathy and nephropathy, albeit comparable macrovascular and microvascular complication rates. The mortality-rate-ratio for patients with depression and diabetes was significantly higher than patients with diabetes-only at a low level of complication burden. In conclusion, depression patients with co-occurring diabetes are at increased risk of excess mortality. Further research is warranted to improve diabetes-related outcomes and reduce mortality gap in this vulnerable population.

A Norwegian population-based registry study from the OMIT cohort. J Psychosom Res 2025; 190:112057. [PMID: 39955944 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychores.2025.112057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2024] [Revised: 01/05/2025] [Accepted: 02/08/2025] [Indexed: 02/18/2025]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether type 2 diabetes (T2D) duration ('0-4'; '≥5-9'; ≥10-19'; '≥20 years') was associated with use of medication for depression, anxiety, or insomnia, and if possible associations were modified by age, age at T2D onset, sex, and education. METHODS We used data from 55,083 adults with T2D in the national registry-based cohort study Outcomes & Multi-morbidity In T2D (2006-2019). Adjusted associations and effect modifications were estimated using binary logistic regressions with generalized estimation equations in the subgroups age (<60, ≥60 years), age at diabetes onset (<40, ≥40 years), sex (men, women), and education (primary, high school, university). RESULTS At initial registration, 12 % used medication for depression, 10 % for anxiety, and 16 % for insomnia. These prevalence estimates increased with diabetes duration in most subgroups. Individuals with early onset T2D had higher prevalence of depression than those with late onset, which increased with diabetes duration (per category change diabetes duration 0.7 % (95 % CI 0.2, 1.2), P for trend = 0.003). For anxiety and insomnia, a stronger association was found in those with early T2D onset compared to late onset (per category change 1.3 % (95 % CI 0.9, 1.8) and 1.9 (95 % CI 1.3, 2.4), P for interaction = 0.001; 0.01). CONCLUSION The prevalence of pharmacologically treated depression, anxiety, and insomnia increased with diabetes duration; this finding may imply that assessment of mental health disorders at the initial phase and along the diabetes trajectory are needed. As the prevalences advanced most prominently in people with early onset T2D, future studies should determine underlying mechanisms to test age-appropriate preventive interventions.

Differential associations of somatic and cognitive-affective symptoms of depression with inflammation and insulin resistance: cross-sectional and longitudinal results from the Emotional Distress Sub-Study of the GRADE study. Diabetologia 2025:10.1007/s00125-025-06369-8. [PMID: 39951058 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-025-06369-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/03/2025] [Indexed: 02/19/2025]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Insulin resistance and inflammation are components of a biological framework that is hypothesised to be shared by type 2 diabetes and depression. However, depressive symptoms include a large heterogeneity of somatic and cognitive-affective symptoms, and this may obscure the associations within this biological framework. Cross-sectional and longitudinal data were used to disentangle the contributions of insulin resistance and inflammation to somatic and cognitive-affective symptoms of depression. METHODS This secondary analysis used data from the Emotional Distress Sub-Study of the GRADE trial. Insulin resistance and inflammation were assessed using the HOMA-IR estimation and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels, respectively, at baseline and at the study visits at year 1 and year 3 (HOMA-IR) and every 6 months (hsCRP) for up to 3 years of follow-up. Depressive symptoms were assessed at baseline using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8), and a total score as well as symptom cluster scores for cognitive-affective and somatic symptoms were calculated. For the cross-sectional analyses, linear regression analyses were performed, with inflammation and insulin resistance at baseline as dependent variables. For the longitudinal analyses, linear mixed-effect regression analyses were performed, with inflammation and insulin resistance at the various time points as dependent variables. In all analyses, depressive symptoms (total score and symptom cluster scores) were the independent variables, controlled for important demographic, anthropometric and metabolic confounders. For the analysis of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), data from 1321 participants were analysed. For the analysis of inflammation (hsCRP), data from 1739 participants were analysed. RESULTS In cross-sectional analysis and after adjustment for potential confounders, a one-unit increase in PHQ-8 total score was significantly associated with a 0.8% increase in HOMA-IR (p=0.007), but not with hsCRP (0.6% increase, p=0.283). The somatic symptom score was associated with a 5.8% increase in HOMA-IR (p=0.004). Single-item analyses of depressive symptoms showed that fatigue (3.6% increase, p=0.002) and increased/decreased appetite (3.5% increase, p=0.009) were significantly associated with HOMA-IR cross-sectionally. The cognitive-affective symptom score was not significantly associated with HOMA-IR at baseline. In longitudinal analyses, a one-unit increase in PHQ-8 total score was significantly associated with a 0.8% increase in hsCRP over time (p=0.014), but not with HOMA-IR over time (0.1% decrease, p=0.564). Again, only the somatic symptom cluster was significantly associated with hsCRP over time (5.2% increase, p=0.017), while the cognitive-affective symptom score was not. CONCLUSION/INTERPRETATION The results highlight the associations of depressive symptoms with markers of inflammation and insulin resistance, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally, in individuals with type 2 diabetes. In particular, somatic symptoms of depression appear to be the driver of these associations, even after controlling for concomitant conditions, with a potential role for fatigue and issues with appetite.

Abstract
AIMS Several methods are available to help identify people with depression; however, there is little guidance on when to start screening. This study estimated the incidence of new depressive episodes and identified factors associated with onset in adults with newly treated type 2 diabetes. METHODS Administrative health data from Alberta, Canada was used to identify people starting metformin between April 2011 and March 2015. People with a history of depression before metformin initiation were excluded. Person-time analysis was used to calculate the incidence rate of new depressive episodes over the next 3 years, stratified by sex, age, and year. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors independently associated with a new depressive episode. RESULTS 42,694 adults initiated metformin; mean age 56 years, 38 % female. A new depressive episode occurred in 2752 (6 %) individuals, mean time to onset was 1.4 years and overall incidence rate was 22.3/1000 person-years. Factors associated with a new depressive episode were female sex, younger age, previous mental health conditions, frequent healthcare utilization, and multiple comorbid conditions. CONCLUSIONS Screening for depression should begin within 1-2 years of metformin initiation and focus on females, those < 55 years old, those with a history of mental health conditions, and those with multiple comorbid conditions.

Risk of mortality and complications in patients with severe mental illness and co-occurring diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur Neuropsychopharmacol 2025; 91:25-36. [PMID: 39612727 DOI: 10.1016/j.euroneuro.2024.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2024] [Revised: 10/29/2024] [Accepted: 11/04/2024] [Indexed: 12/01/2024]
Abstract
People with severe-mental-illness (SMI), often defined as "schizophrenia-spectrum disorders and bipolar disorder", have increased premature mortality and elevated prevalence of diabetes compared with general population. Evidence indicated that one-third of their premature death was from cardiovascular diseases (CVD), with risk conferred by diabetes. Although earlier studies have examined SMI-associated diabetes-related outcomes, findings were inconsistent and not systematically evaluated. We systematically reviewed and quantitatively synthesized diabetes-related outcomes in patients with SMI (schizophrenia-spectrum disorders and bipolar disorder) by searching Embase, MEDLINE, PsycInfo, and Web-of-Science from inception to 31-March-2024, and included studies examining mortality and complication outcomes in SMI patients with co-occurring diabetes relative to patients with diabetes-only. Results were synthesized by random-effects models, with stratified-analyses by study-level characteristics. The study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023448490). Twenty-one studies involving 161,156 SMI patients with co-occurring diabetes were identified from ten regions. Regarding mortality risk, SMI-diabetes group exhibited increased risks of all-cause mortality (RR=1.77[95 % CI: 1.46-2.14]) and CVD-specific mortality (1.88[1.73-2.04]) relative to diabetes-only group. All-cause mortality risk was present in distinct regions and has persisted over time. Regarding complication risk, SMI-diabetes group showed higher risk of any complications (1.23[1.06-1.43]) than comparison, with stratified-analyses showing higher risk of metabolic-complications (1.84[1.58-2.15]), and lower likelihood of peripheral-vascular complications (0.91[0.84-0.99]), neuropathy (0.85[0.78-0.93]), and retinopathy (0.70[0.60-0.82]), albeit comparable cardiovascular-complications (1.04[0.89-1.22]), cerebrovascular-complications (1.07[0.86-1.33]), and nephropathy (0.92[0.72-1.17]). High heterogeneity was noted and could not be fully-explained by subgroup-analyses. Implementation of targeted interventions is needed to rectify their diabetes-related outcomes and mortality gap.

[PMID: 39856085 PMCID: PMC11760355 DOI: 10.1038/s41398-025-03234-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2024] [Revised: 12/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2025] [Indexed: 01/27/2025] Open
Abstract
This state-of-the-art review explores the relationship between depression and diabetes, highlighting the two-way influences that make treatment challenging and worsen the outcomes of both conditions. Depression and diabetes often co-occur and share genetic, lifestyle, and psychosocial risk factors. Lifestyle elements such as diet, physical activity, and sleep patterns play a role on the development and management of both conditions, highlighting the need for integrated treatment strategies. The evidence suggests that traditional management strategies focusing on either condition in isolation fall short of addressing the intertwined nature of diabetes and depression. Instead, integrated care models encompassing psychological support and medical management are recommended to improve treatment efficacy and patient adherence. Such models require collaboration across multiple healthcare disciplines, including endocrinology, psychiatry, and primary care, to offer a holistic approach to patient care. This review also identifies significant patient-related barriers to effective management, such as stigma, psychological resistance, and health literacy, which need to be addressed through patient-centered education and support systems. Future directions for research include longitudinal studies in diverse populations to further elucidate causal relationships and the exploration of novel therapeutic targets, as well as the effectiveness of healthcare models aimed at preventing the onset of one condition in individuals diagnosed with the other.

Applying the theoretical domains framework to identify determinants to mental healthcare use among older African Americans with type 2 diabetes: a qualitative study. BMJ Open 2024; 14:e073689. [PMID: 39353695 PMCID: PMC11448234 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-073689] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 10/04/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES There is a paucity of research focused on enhancing access to mental healthcare for older African Americans with type 2 diabetes (T2D), who may be at risk for or living with comorbid depression. This study aims to identify barriers and facilitators to mental healthcare utilisation among this population, guided by the theoretical domains framework (TDF). DESIGN This qualitative study involved 30 interviews with older African American adults diagnosed with T2D. The interview questions were aligned with TDF domains to capture participant perspectives on barriers and facilitators to mental healthcare use. SETTING Interviews were conducted via telephone by a licensed clinician trained in social work. Each session lasted 60-90 min and was transcribed and analysed. PARTICIPANTS The study included 30 African American adults (15 males and 15 females), aged 60 and above, living in an urban area in the Midwest. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOMES The primary outcome was the identification of themes from participant responses, analysed using thematic content techniques and categorised into TDF constructs. Demographic data served as the secondary outcome. RESULTS Nine key themes were identified, categorised under major TDF domains and constructs. Significant barriers included (1) systemic racism ('knowledge'), (2) normalisation of depressive symptoms ('beliefs about consequences'), (3) perceived stigma ('beliefs about consequences') and 4) costs of medications and healthcare ('environmental context and resources'). Facilitators to seeking mental healthcare included (1) empowerment ('beliefs about capabilities'), (2) perceived benefits of mental health exams ('beliefs about consequences'), (3) positive provider experiences ('reinforcement'), (4) recognition of depressive symptoms as a motivator ('goals') and (5) support networks ('social influences'). CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Key findings highlight that fostering positive patient-provider relationships and enhancing self-recognition of depressive symptoms can significantly encourage mental healthcare utilisation among older African Americans with T2D. These findings suggest that future interventions should focus on strengthening these relationships and improving self-awareness to better mental health outcomes.

The Prevalence and Determinants of Anxiety and Depressive Symptoms in Patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus in Mogadishu, Somalia: A Cross-Sectional Study. Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2024; 17:3419-3432. [PMID: 39295644 PMCID: PMC11410038 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s479583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/31/2024] [Indexed: 09/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aims to determine the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among TIIDM patients in Mogadishu, Somalia, and identify predicting factors, as there is limited research on these disorders in Somalia. Methods A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients with TIIDM from November 2023 to January 2024 at Erdogan Hospital, in the capital city of Somalia. A total of 360 participants were recruited using the systematic sampling technique. Data was collected using questionnaires on sociodemographic, clinical and behavioral characteristics. The depression, anxiety, and stress scale (DASS-21) questionnaire was used to assess symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify variables predicted by the outcome variables. Results Out of the 360 participants included in this study, 44.7%, 55.0%, and 30.3% had depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, respectively. A lack of regular exercise (AOR = 1.79; 95% CI: 1.14-2.79) and an illness duration of 4-7 years (AOR = 1.94; 95% CI: 1.16-3.23) were statistically associated with depression. Being female (AOR = 2.07; 95% CI: 1.31-3.28), having ≥9 children (AOR = 1.94; 95% CI: 1.07-3.53), and a lack of regular exercise (AOR = 1.57; 95% CI: 1.01-2.45) were statistically associated with anxiety. A lack of regular exercise (AOR = 2.07; 95% CI: 1.31-3.28), having DM complications (AOR = 2.14; 95% CI: 1.01-4.54), an illness duration of 4-7 years (AOR = 2.22; 95% CI: 1.25-3.94), and DM management non-compliance (AOR = 2.74; 95% CI: 1.20-6.26) were statistically associated with stress. Conclusions This study found that TIIDM patients had moderately high rates of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, with a lack of physical activity associated with increased odds of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. Healthcare workers should screen for psychological symptoms, provide interventions, monitor sedentary patients, and encourage adherence to treatment and physical exercise to reduce mental health burden.

The Association Between Depressive Symptoms, Access to Diabetes Care, and Glycemic Control in Five Middle-Income Countries. Diabetes Care 2024; 47:1449-1456. [PMID: 38917276 PMCID: PMC11272970 DOI: 10.2337/dc23-1507] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The relationship between depression, diabetes, and access to diabetes care is established in high-income countries (HICs) but not in middle-income countries (MICs), where contexts and health systems differ and may impact this relationship. In this study, we investigate access to diabetes care for individuals with and without depressive symptoms in MICs. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed pooled data from nationally representative household surveys across Brazil, Chile, China, Indonesia, and Mexico. Validated survey tools Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale Revised, Composite International Diagnostic Interview, Short Form, and Patient Health Questionnaire identified participants with depressive symptoms. Diabetes, defined per World Health Organization Package of Essential Noncommunicable Disease Interventions guidelines, included self-reported medication use and biochemical data. The primary focus was on tracking diabetes care progression through the stages of diagnosis, treatment, and glycemic control. Descriptive and multivariable logistic regression analyses, accounting for gender, age, education, and BMI, examined diabetes prevalence and care continuum progression. RESULTS The pooled sample included 18,301 individuals aged 50 years and above; 3,309 (18.1%) had diabetes, and 3,934 (21.5%) exhibited depressive symptoms. Diabetes prevalence was insignificantly higher among those with depressive symptoms (28.9%) compared with those without (23.8%, P = 0.071). Co-occurrence of diabetes and depression was associated with increased odds of diabetes detection (odds ratio [OR] 1.398, P < 0.001) and treatment (OR 1.344, P < 0.001), but not with higher odds of glycemic control (OR 0.913, P = 0.377). CONCLUSIONS In MICs, individuals aged 50 years and older with diabetes and depression showed heightened diabetes identification and treatment probabilities, unlike patterns seen in HICs. This underscores the unique interplay of these conditions in different income settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have shown a strong bidirectional association between diabetes and depression, with diabetes increasing the risk of developing depression and vice versa. Depression among patients with diabetes is associated with poor glycemic control, complications, and poor self-care. AIM To explore the present state of research globally concerning diabetes and depression, to aid understanding the current research landscape and identify potential future areas of research. METHODS A bibliometric approach was used, utilizing the Scopus database to gather pertinent research articles released from 2004 to 2023. Analyses encompassed publication patterns, significant contributors, research focal points, prevalent themes, and the most influential articles, aimed at discerning emerging research subjects. RESULTS A total of 3229 publications that met the search criteria were identified. A significant increase in the number of publications related to diabetes and depression has been observed in the past two decades. The most productive nation was the USA (n = 1015; 31.43%), followed by China (n = 325; 10.07%), the UK (n = 236; 7.31%), and Germany (n = 218; 6.75%). Three principal themes in research on depression and diabetes were delineated by the analysis. First, the exploration of the elevated prevalence and etiology of this comorbidity; second, the focus on interventions, particularly randomized controlled trials, aimed at enhancing diabetes management among individuals with depression; and finally, the investigation of the involved risk factors and biological mechanisms underlying this bidirectional relationship. CONCLUSION There has been a recent surge of interest in the relationship between diabetes and depression. This could aid researchers to identify areas lacking in the literature and shape future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression and diabetes mellitus (DM) are major chronic noncommunicable diseases that impair one's mental and physical well-being and impose substantial burdens on the health system. Depressed individuals have an increased risk of impaired blood glucose, weight gain and dyslipidemia which could induce poorer long-term survival. METHODS 37,040 individuals from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were included. Depressive symptoms were assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and classified by the total scores as no (0-4), mild (5-9), moderate (10-14), and severe (15-27). DM was determined based on self-reported medical history, clinical test results, and medication use. Logistic and Cox regression were the main statistical models. All analyses were based on weighted data from complex sampling. RESULTS The prevalence of DM was higher in depressed than non-depressed individuals (21.26 % vs. 13.75 %). The adjusted odds ratio (OR) (95 % CI) of comorbid DM increased with depression severity, from 1.00 (reference) for no depression, to 1.22 (1.09,1.36) for mild, 1.62 (1.37,1.92) for moderate, and 1.52(1.28,1.82) for severe depression. Comorbidity of DM and depression significantly associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality, with a hazard ratio (HR) (95 % CI) = 2.09 (1.64,2.66). LIMITATIONS Dynamic demographic and metabolic data were not available. CONCLUSION Depression is associated with a higher risk of DM, which may be related to biological, socioeconomic, and medication-related factors. Comorbidity of the two worsens long-term survival. Therefore, blood glucose management and prevention of DM should be emphasized in depressed patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the leading causes of disability. We aimed to report the MDD-attributable prevalence, incidence and years lived with disability (YLDs) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region from 1990 to 2019 by age, sex and socio-demographic index (SDI). METHODS Publicly available data on the burden of MDD were retrieved from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2019 for the 21 countries in MENA. The counts and age-standardised rates (per 100,000) were presented, along with their corresponding 95% uncertainty intervals. RESULTS In 2019, MDD had an age-standardised point prevalence of 3322.1 and an incidence rate of 4921.7 per 100,000 population in MENA. Furthermore, there were 4.1 million YLDs in 2019. However, there were no substantial changes in the MDD burden over the period 1990-2019. In 2019, Palestine had the highest burden of MDD. The highest prevalence, incidence and YLDs attributable to MDD were found in the 35-39 age group. In 2019, the YLD rate in MENA was higher than the global rate for almost all age groups. Furthermore, there was a broadly negative association between the YLD rate and SDI. CONCLUSION The study highlights the need to prevent the disorder using a multidisciplinary approach and for the provision of cost-effective treatments for those affected, in order to increase their quality of life.

Abstract
Affective temperaments have been shown to robustly affect infertility treatment success. However, identification of possible mediating factors through which they exert their influence is still lacking. A growing number of results suggest that adherence to recommended treatments may be such a mediator, on the one hand, because affective temperaments are known to influence adherence and, on the other hand, because non-adherence negatively influences the treatment outcome. Recommended treatment of infertility involves, beyond medications, dietary and lifestyle changes. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate whether adherence to physician-prescribed diet and physical activity recommendations mediates the effect of affective temperaments on infertility treatment outcomes. Among 308 women who underwent infertility treatment in an Assisted Reproduction Center, affective temperaments, adherence to diet, adherence to physical exercise, and infertility treatment success (clinical pregnancy) were assessed besides detailed medical history and demographic parameters. Associations between affective temperaments, adherence to diet and recommended physical activity, and assisted reproduction outcomes were analyzed using generalized linear models and causal mediation analysis. Adherence to physical activity didn't have an effect, but diet adherence increased the odds of infertility treatment success by 130% suggesting its role as a potential mediator. Based on causal mediation analysis, higher depressive and anxious temperament scores were directly associated with 63% and 45% lower odds of achieving clinical pregnancy, respectively, with effects not mediated by diet adherence. Higher irritable temperament scores indirectly decreased the odds of achieving clinical pregnancy by 14%, mediated by diet adherence; while higher cyclothymic temperament scores decreased the odds of achieving clinical pregnancy both directly by 51% and indirectly, mediated by diet adherence by 11%. Our results suggest that diet adherence mediates the mechanism by which irritable and cyclothymic affective temperaments influence IVF treatment success. Since adherence is a modifiable risk factor of infertility treatment success, screening for affective temperaments may help to identify potentially high-risk non-adherent patient groups and offer patient-tailored treatment, which may help increase the chances of a successful pregnancy and live birth in women undergoing IVF treatment.

Aungle P, Langer E. The borderline effect for diabetes: when no difference makes a difference. Front Psychol 2024; 15:1333248. [PMID: 38765836 PMCID: PMC11099830 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1333248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024] Open
Abstract
We hypothesized that people at the borderline of being labeled as "prediabetic" based on A1c blood test results, who initially face equivalent risks of developing diabetes but who are labeled differently, would be more likely to develop diabetes when labeled as "prediabetic" as a result of the label. Study 1 served to establish the psychological effect of the prediabetes label: we surveyed 260 participants on Amazon Mechanical Turk to test whether risk perception significantly increased when comparing A1c test results that differed by 0.1% and led to different diagnostic labels (5.6 and 5.7%) but did not significantly increase when comparing those that differed by 0.1% but received the same label (5.5%/5.6 and 5.7%/5.8%). Study 2 explored whether labels are associated with different rates of developing diabetes when the initial difference in A1c results suggests equivalent risk. Using data from 8,096 patients, we compared patients whose initial A1c results differed by 0.1% and found those who received results labeled as prediabetic (A1c of 5.7%) were significantly more likely to develop diabetes than patients whose initial results were labeled as normal (5.6%). In contrast, patients whose initial results differed by 0.1% but who received the same "normal" label (5.5 and 5.6%) were equally likely to develop diabetes. These preliminary results suggest that diagnostic labels may become self-fulfilling, especially when the underlying pathology of patients receiving different labels does not meaningfully differ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the degrees and shapes of associations of changes in obesity indices with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality risks. We aimed to conduct a dose-response meta-analysis for the associations of changes in weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio, and waist-to-height ratio with CVD events, CVD-specific deaths, and all-cause mortality. METHODS We searched MEDLINE via OvidSP, Embase via OvidSP, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Scopus for articles published before January 8th, 2023. Dose-response relationships were modeled using the one-stage mixed-effects meta-analysis. Random-effects models were used to pool the relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS We included 122 articles. Weight change was negatively associated with deaths from CVD and any cause, while WC change elevated CVD-specific mortality. Non-linear relationships also confirmed the adverse effects of increased WC on CVD-specific mortality. Additionally, gains of 5 kg in weight and 1 kg/m2 in BMI or more were associated with elevated CVD events, especially among young adults and individuals without CVD. Conversely, reductions of 5 kg in weight and 1 kg/m2 in BMI or more were associated with higher CVD-specific and all-cause deaths than increased counterparts, particularly among old adults and individuals with CVD. Similar non-linear relationships between relative changes in weight and BMI and deaths from CVD and any cause were observed. CONCLUSIONS The effects of changes in weight and BMI on CVD outcomes were affected by age and cardiovascular health. Tailored weight management and avoidance of increased WC should be recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is associated with higher rates of premature mortality in people with physical comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes. Conceptually, the successful treatment of depression in people with type 2 diabetes could prevent premature mortality. AIMS To investigate the association between antidepressant prescribing and the rates of all-cause and cause-specific (endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, cancer, unnatural) mortality in individuals with comorbid depression and type 2 diabetes. METHOD Using UK primary care records between years 2000 and 2018, we completed a nested case-control study in a cohort of people with comorbid depression and type 2 diabetes who were starting oral antidiabetic treatment for the first time. We used incident density sampling to identify cases who died and matched controls who remained alive after the same number of days observation. We estimated incidence rate ratios for the association between antidepressant prescribing and mortality, adjusting for demographic characteristics, comorbidities, medication use and health behaviours. RESULTS We included 5222 cases with a recorded date of death, and 18 675 controls, observed for a median of 7 years. Increased rates of all-cause mortality were associated with any antidepressant prescribing during the observation period (incidence rate ratio 2.77, 95% CI 2.48-3.10). These results were consistent across all causes of mortality that we investigated. CONCLUSIONS Antidepressant prescribing was highly associated with higher rates of mortality. However, we suspect that this is not a direct causal effect, but that antidepressant treatment is a marker of more severe and unsuccessfully treated depression.

Emotional Distress Predicts Reduced Type 2 Diabetes Treatment Adherence in the Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Diabetes: A Comparative Effectiveness Study (GRADE). Diabetes Care 2024; 47:629-637.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We examined longitudinal associations between emotional distress (specifically, depressive symptoms and diabetes distress) and medication adherence in Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Diabetes: A Comparative Effectiveness Study (GRADE), a large randomized controlled trial comparing four glucose-lowering medications added to metformin in adults with relatively recent-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Emotional Distress Substudy assessed medication adherence, depressive symptoms, and diabetes distress in 1,739 GRADE participants via self-completed questionnaires administered biannually up to 3 years. We examined baseline depressive symptoms and diabetes distress as predictors of medication adherence over 36 months. Bidirectional visit-to-visit relationships were also examined. Treatment satisfaction, beliefs about medication, diabetes care self-efficacy, and perceived control over diabetes were evaluated as mediators of longitudinal associations. RESULTS At baseline, mean ± SD age of participants (56% of whom were White, 17% Hispanic/Latino, 18% Black, and 66% male) was 58.0 ± 10.2 years, diabetes duration 4.2 ± 2.8 years, HbA1c 7.5% ± 0.5%, and medication adherence 89.9% ± 11.1%. Higher baseline depressive symptoms and diabetes distress were independently associated with lower adherence over 36 months (P < 0.001). Higher depressive symptoms and diabetes distress at one visit predicted lower adherence at the subsequent 6-month visit (P < 0.0001) but not vice versa. Treatment assignment did not moderate relationships. Patient-reported concerns about diabetes medications mediated the largest percentage (11.9%-15.5%) of the longitudinal link between emotional distress and adherence. CONCLUSIONS Depressive symptoms and diabetes distress both predict lower adherence to glucose-lowering medications over time among adults with T2DM. Addressing emotional distress and concerns about anticipated negative effects of taking these treatments may be important to support diabetes treatment adherence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of contemporary data on the prevalence and prognostic significance of cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) from community-based cohorts with type 2 diabetes assessed using gold standard methods. The aim of this study was to assess these aspects of CAN in the longitudinal observational Fremantle Diabetes Study Phase II (FDS2). METHODS FDS2 participants were screened at baseline using standardised cardiovascular reflex tests (CARTs) of heart rate variation during deep breathing, Valsalva manoeuvre and standing. CAN (no/possible/definite) was assessed from the number of abnormal CARTs. Multinomial regression identified independent associates of CAN status. Cox proportional hazards modelling determined independent baseline predictors of incident heart failure (HF) and ischaemic heart disease (IHD), and all-cause mortality. RESULTS Of 1254 participants assessed for CAN, 86 (6.9%) were outside CART age reference ranges and valid CART data were unavailable for 338 (27.0%). Of the remaining 830 (mean age 62.3 years, 55.3% males, median diabetes duration 7.3 years), 51.0%, 33.7% and 15.3% had no, possible or definite CAN, respectively. Independent associates of definite CAN (longer diabetes duration, higher body mass index and resting pulse rate, antidepressant and antihypertensive therapies, albuminuria, distal sensory polyneuropathy, prior HF) were consistent with those reported previously. In Kaplan-Meier analysis, definite CAN was associated with a lower likelihood of incident IHD and HF versus no/possible CAN (P < 0.001) and there was a graded increase in all-cause mortality risk from no CAN to possible and definite CAN (P < 0.001). When CAN category was added to the most parsimonious models, it was not a significant independent predictor of IHD (P ≥ 0.851) or HF (P ≥ 0.342). Possible CAN (hazard ratio (95% CI) 1.47 (1.01, 2.14), P = 0.046) and definite CAN (2.42 (1.60, 3.67), P < 0.001) increased the risk of all-cause mortality versus no CAN. CONCLUSIONS Routine screening for CAN in type 2 diabetes has limited clinical but some prognostic value.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) is common and highly recurrent, negatively impacting the individuals' quality of life. The 2023 guidelines of the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot emphasise that adherence to foot self-care recommendations is one of the most important factors in DFU prevention. These guidelines also briefly mention that depression and other psychosocial problems can hamper treatment and ulcer healing. Moreover, a new clinical question was added on psychological interventions for ulcer prevention, although the evidence regarding the role of psychological and social factors is still limited. To help the field progress, this narrative overview discusses how a stronger focus on psychological factors by both researchers and clinicians could improve the care for people at high DFU risk. The review starts with a testimony of a person living with DFU, explaining that for him, the absence of shared decision-making has been a key barrier to successful foot self-care implementation. Intervention studies that address patient-reported barriers are still scarce, and are therefore urgently needed. Furthermore, the key elements of psychological interventions found to be successful in managing diabetes are yet to be implemented in DFU risk management. Importantly, research evidence indicates that commonly advocated foot self-care recommendations may be insufficient in preventing DFU recurrence, whereas digital technology appears to effectively reduce recurrent DFU. More research is therefore needed to identify determinants of patient acceptance of digital technology.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyperglycemia constitutes a likely pathway linking diabetes and depressive symptoms; lowering glycemic levels may help reduce diabetes-comorbid depressive symptoms. Since randomized controlled trials can help understand temporal associations, we systematically reviewed the evidence regarding the potential association of hemoglobin HbA1c lowering interventions with depressive symptoms. METHODS PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and EMBASE databases were searched for randomized controlled trials evaluating HbA1c-lowering interventions and including assessment of depressive symptoms published between 01/2000-09/2020. Study quality was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. PROSPERO registration: CRD42020215541. RESULTS We retrieved 1,642 studies of which twelve met our inclusion criteria. Nine studies had high and three unclear risks of bias. Baseline depressive symptom scores suggest elevated depressive symptoms in five studies. Baseline HbA1c was <8.0% (<64 mmol/mol) in two, 8.0-9.0% (64-75 mmol/mol) in eight, and ≥10.0% (≥86 mmol/mol) in two studies. Five studies found greater HbA1c reduction in the treatment group; three of these found greater depressive symptom reduction in the treatment group. Of four studies analyzing whether the change in HbA1c was associated with the change in depressive symptoms, none found a significant association. The main limitation of these studies was relatively low levels of depressive symptoms at baseline, limiting the ability to show a lowering in depressive symptoms after HbA1c reduction. CONCLUSIONS We found insufficient available data to estimate the association between HbA1c reduction and depressive symptom change following glucose-lowering treatment. Our findings point to an important gap in the diabetes treatment literature. Future clinical trials testing interventions to improve glycemic outcomes might consider measuring depressive symptoms as an outcome to enable analyses of this association.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The pandemic contributed to increased mental and cognitive health concerns as well as reduced utilization of preventive and treatment focused care. Deferred care can contribute to negative clinical outcomes, including increased acuity of mental and cognitive health concerns that benefit from early intervention. A new visit type was launched with the aim of reaching patients who may need care and supporting early identification of cognitive and mental health issues. METHODS We developed the Healthy Mind visit, a preventative visit administered by Primary Care Providers (PCPs) within outpatient clinics. The Healthy Mind visit included use of a pre-visit mental health screener as well as a brief computerized cognitive assessment. The clinical interaction focused on identifying mental and cognitive health concerns and developing a plan for wellness. Outcomes data collection occurred over nearly 2.5 years and focused on analyzing booking patterns, depression screening and follow-up, and clinical outcomes such as health confidence and post-visit motivation. RESULTS The visit was effective in supporting depression screening and follow-up with 29.6% of those participating in a Healthy Mind visit receiving a PHQ-9, and 82.5% of patients with elevated PHQ-9 scores attending a subsequent visit with their PCP. Improvements in health confidence and high patient reported motivation post-visit represent other notable clinical outcomes. The visit also promoted care utilization, with 73.5% of patients who attended a Healthy Mind visit being new to the practice or those who had not attended an appointment in the past 6 months. CONCLUSIONS The Healthy Mind visit, with a focus on mental and cognitive health, was successful in reaching patients who may not have otherwise sought care and supported positive clinical outcomes including early identification and treatment of depression and increased health confidence. RECOMMENDATIONS These findings reflect the importance of developing innovative programs to connect patients with care, especially those who may have deferred care due to a variety of factors. Focusing on mental and cognitive health with the use of innovative tools such as a computerized assessment, can drive patient interest in care offerings and support positive clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Psychological factors and psychosocial care for individuals with diabetic neuropathy (DN), a common and burdensome complication of diabetes, are important but overlooked areas. In this article we focus on common clinical manifestations of DN, unremitting neuropathic pain, postural instability, and foot complications, and their psychosocial impact, including depression, anxiety, poor sleep quality, and specific problems such as fear of falling and fear of amputation. We also summarize the evidence regarding the negative impact of psychological factors such as depression on DN, self-care tasks, and future health outcomes. The clinical problem of underdetection and undertreatment of psychological problems is described, together with the value of using brief assessments of these in clinical care. We conclude by discussing trial evidence regarding the effectiveness of current pharmacological and nonpharmacological approaches and also future directions for developing and testing new psychological treatments for DN and its clinical manifestations.

Impact of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy programme on HbA1c, self-management and psychosocial factors in adults with type 1 diabetes and elevated HbA1c levels: a randomised controlled trial. BMJ Open 2023; 13:e072061. [PMID: 38101850 PMCID: PMC10729111 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-072061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) programme, tailored for people living with type 1 diabetes, on glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), self-management and psychosocial factors among individuals with HbA1c>60 mmol/mol compared with treatment as usual (TAU). SETTING An endocrinologic clinic in Sweden. PARTICIPANTS In this randomised controlled trial, 81 individuals with type 1 diabetes, aged 18-70 years with HbA1c>60 mmol/mol, were randomly assigned to either an ACT group intervention or TAU. Exclusion criteria were: unable to speak Swedish, untreated or severe psychiatric disease, cortisone treatment, untreated thyroid disease and newly started insulin pump therapy. At the 2-year follow-up, HbA1c was measured in 26 individuals. INTERVENTION The ACT programme comprised seven 2-hour sessions held over 14 weeks and focused on acceptance of stressful thoughts and emotions, and to promote value-based committed action. OUTCOMES The primary outcome was HbA1c, and the secondary outcomes were measures of depression, anxiety, general stress, fear of hypoglycaemia, diabetes distress, self-care activities, psychological flexibility (general and related to diabetes) and quality of life. The primary endpoint was HbA1c 2 years after the intervention programme. Linear mixed models were used to test for an interaction effect between measurement time and group. RESULTS Likelihood ratio test of nested models demonstrated no statistically significant interaction effect (χ2=0.49, p=0.485) between measurement time and group regarding HbA1c. However, a statistically significant interaction effect (likelihood ratio test χ2=12.63, p<0.001) was observed with improved scores on The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire in the intervention group after 1 and 2 years. CONCLUSIONS No statistically significant difference was found between the groups regarding the primary outcome measure, HbA1c. However, the ACT programme showed a persistent beneficial impact on psychological flexibility in the intervention group. The dropout rate was higher than expected, which may indicate a challenge in this type of study. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02914496.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-communicable diseases are lifestyle diseases that are increasing throughout the world. They are responsible for 71% of death worldwide, among which 16 million people die prematurely or before reaching the age of 70 years. Among the non-communicable diseases, diabetes and hypertension are the most common. The study aimed to find the prevalence of depression among diabetes and hypertensive clients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 370 subjects diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and both in Justice K.S Hegde Charitable Hospital at Mangaluru. A purposive sampling technique was adopted to select the subjects. Patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to find the depressive symptoms among the client. The statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 20 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.); descriptive (frequency and percentage) and inferential (one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)) statistics were used to interpret the data. RESULTS Out of 370 subjects, 41% had no depression, and most 59% had mild to severe levels of depression. Among clients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (n = 139), the majority (63%) had mild to severe depression. Similarly, of subjects diagnosed with hypertension, 51% had no depression, and 49% had mild to severe depression. In addition, among subjects diagnosed with both diabetes mellitus and hypertension (n = 99), 67% had mild to severe depression. CONCLUSIONS The study shows that many diabetes and hypertensive patients attending the outpatient departments of the hospital experience depression. So, it is crucial to identify the depressive symptoms early and take appropriate measures to prevent complications.

Abstract
Clinical and basic science investigation indicates a link between insulin resistance and anhedonia. Previous results of this laboratory point to impaired nucleus accumbens (NAc) insulin signaling as an underpinning of diet-induced anhedonia, based on use of a glucose lick microstructure assay. The present study evaluated whether advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their receptor (RAGE), known to mediate obesogenic diet-induced inflammation and pathological metabolic conditions, are involved in this behavioral change. Six weeks maintenance of male and female rats on a high fat-high sugar liquid diet (chocolate Ensure) increased body weight gain, and markedly increased circulating insulin and leptin, but induced anhedonia (decreased first minute lick rate and lick burst size) in males only. In these subjects, anhedonia correlated with plasma concentrations of insulin. Although the diet did not alter plasma or NAc AGEs, or the expression of RAGE in the NAc, marginally significant correlations were seen between anhedonia and plasma content of several AGEs and NAc RAGE. Importantly, a small molecule RAGE antagonist, RAGE229, administered twice daily by oral gavage, prevented diet-induced anhedonia. This beneficial effect was associated with improved adipose function, reflected in the adiponectin/leptin ratio, and increased pCREB/total CREB in the NAc, and a shift in the pCREB correlation with pThr34-DARPP-32 from near-zero to strongly positive, such that both phospho-proteins correlated with the rescued hedonic response. This set of findings suggests that the receptor/signaling pathway and cell type underlying the RAGE229-mediated increase in pCREB may mediate anhedonia and its prevention. The possible role of adipose tissue as a locus of diet-induced RAGE signaling, and source of circulating factors that target NAc to modify hedonic reactivity are discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the correlation between glycemic control status and depressive symptoms in type 2 diabetes elderly. METHODS A total of 1527 participants with type 2 diabetes aged 55 years and older from the Healthy Aging Longitudinal Study in Taiwan study were included in this cross-sectional study. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD) (20 items) score of ≥16 was indicative of depressive symptoms. The participants were divided into HbA1c ≥ 6.5% and < 6.5% representing the glycemic control. Multiple logistic regression (MLR) and Generalized linear model (GLM) were used. RESULTS The MLR analysis showed that the low HbA1c group had significant two-fold increased odds of depressive symptoms compared to the high HbA1c group (OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.17-3.05). The risk of depressive symptoms was lower among males (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.30-0.80) and those with higher BMI (OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.86-1.00); whereas the risk was higher among those who lived alone (OR 2.37, 95% CI 1.31-4.27) and with ADL disability (OR 3.01, 95% CI 1.85-4.89). The GLM showed that the dimension of depressive affect reached statistical significance with lower HbA1c. CONCLUSION This nationwide community-based study shows that depressive symptoms are associated with lower HbA1C, reminding us that more attention should be paid to the presence of depressive symptoms in those with lower HbA1C. Further research is needed to clarify the causal relationship.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Among chronically ill populations, affective disorders remain underdiagnosed and undertreated. A high degree of comorbidity exists between diabetes and affective disorders, particularly depression and anxiety. The mechanisms underlying stress-induced affective dysregulation are likely distinct from those induced by diabetes. A direct comparison between stress- and hyperglycemia-induced affective dysregulation could provide insight into distinct mechanistic targets for depression/anxiety associated with these different conditions. METHODS To this end, the present study used male C57BL/6J mice to compare the independent and combined behavioral and neuroinflammatory effects of two models: (1) unpredictable chronic mild stress and (2) pharmacologically induced hyperglycemia. RESULTS Streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia was associated with a set of behavioral changes reflective of the neurovegetative symptoms of depression (i.e., reduced open field activity, reduced grooming, increased immobility in the forced swim task, and decreased marble burying), increased hippocampal Bdnf and Tnf expression, and elevations in frontal cortex Il1b expression. Our chronic stress protocol produced alterations in anxiety-like behavior and decreased frontal cortex Il1b expression. DISCUSSION While the combination of chronic stress and hyperglycemia produced limited additive effects, their combination exacerbated total symptom burden. Overall, the data indicate that stress and hyperglycemia induce different symptom profiles via distinct mechanisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a feared complication and a leading course of visual impairment, but the connection between DR and depression including the direction has never been studied in a nationwide cohort. We aimed to assess, whether the associations between DR and diagnosed depression are bidirectional. METHODS We performed a national register-based cohort study of individuals with type 2 diabetes, who attended diabetic eye screening between January 2013 and June 2022. Level of DR was extracted from the Danish Registry of Diabetic Retinopathy. The severity of DR was assessed according to the International Clinical Diabetic Retinopathy severity scale. Diagnosed depression was ascertained by physician diagnostic codes of unipolar depression (F32), recurrent depression (F33) or dysthymia (F34.1) from the Danish National Patient Register. We estimated presence of diagnosed depression according to DR level at index date and risk of diagnosed depression during follow-up using multivariable logistic and Cox regression, respectively. Secondly, we assessed whether diagnosed depression at index date could predict incident DR. RESULTS We included 240,893 individuals with type 2 diabetes with baseline rates of diagnosed depression ranging from 5.2 to 6.0 % for DR level 1-4. At index date, individuals with type 2 diabetes and DR were less likely to have a history of diagnosed depression (multivariable adjusted OR, 0.77 [95 % CI 0.73-0.82]). In 226,523 individuals with type 2 diabetes followed for 1,159,755 person-years, 1.7 % developed at least one episode of diagnosed depression. In a model adjusted for age and sex, individuals with DR at index date had an increased risk of incident diagnosed depression compared to those without DR (HR 1.25 [95 % CI 1.16-1.36]). Adjusting for marital status, use of glucose-, lipid- and blood pressure lowering medication, HbA1c, diabetic neuropathy and Charlson comorbidity index waived the above risk (multivariable adjusted HR 1.02 [95 % CI 0.93-1.12]). Furthermore a previous history of diagnosed depression was not associated with increased risk of incident DR (multivariable adjusted HR 0.89 [95 % CI 0.77-1.03]). CONCLUSION In this nationwide cohort study, individuals with DR at first screening were 23 % less likely to have a history of depression, but our data did not support a bidirectional association between DR and depression. Selection bias may have occurred as diagnosed depression is a known barrier for attending DR-screening.

Abstract
Introduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) such as acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and coronary artery disease are highly prevalent conditions that are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in Hungary. The conditions are attributed to identical risk factors, and individuals with DM are primarily susceptible to cardiovascular complications, which are the leading causes of death and disability in patients with DM. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of CVD in individuals with DM and to investigate the association between potential risk factors and the presence of CVD among individuals with DM in a population-based sample. Methods The study was based on data from three waves of the European Health Interview Surveys (EHIS) conducted in Hungary in 2009, 2014, and 2019. Results The prevalence of CVD among patients with DM decreased during the study period and that socioeconomic factors, cardiometabolic risk factors including high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and depression are major contributors to CVD burden in patients with DM in Hungary. Discussion Our findings suggest the importance of regular check-up for hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, better focus on socioeconomic status, as well as ongoing monitoring of mental health among patients with diabetes. Further research is needed to understand the potential causes behind the observed decrease in CVD prevalence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a multidimensional patient-related outcome. Less is known about the role of depressive symptoms on HRQoL in chronic diseases. This follow-up study analyzed depressive symptoms' association with HRQoL change measured with 15D in patients with chronic diseases. DESIGN AND SETTING A total of 587 patients from the Siilinjärvi Health Center, Finland were followed up due to the treatment of hypertension (HA), coronary artery disease (CAD) or diabetes (DM). Depressive symptoms were based on Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (BDI ≥10 =depressive symptoms). HRQoL was assessed at the baseline and after 12 months. RESULTS There were 244 patients with HA (mean age 70 years, 59% women); 103 patients (72 years, 38%) with CAD and 240 with DM (67 years, 52%). The change from baseline to the 12-month follow-up in 15D was significantly different between patients without and with depressive symptoms in CAD (p < 0.001) and DM (p = 0.024). In CAD with depressive symptoms, the change was -0.064 (95% CI: -0.094 to -0.035) and in DM -0.018 (95% CI: -0.037 to 0.001). In the 15 HRQoL dimensions of 15D, a depressive symptoms-related decrease was found in three dimensions with HA, in 9 with CAD and in 7 with DM. As a function of the BDI at baseline, the 15D score decreased significantly among patients with CAD and DM. CONCLUSIONS Depressive symptoms impact negatively on future HRQoL among primary care patients with coronary artery disease and diabetes emphasizing that mood should be acknowledged in their care and follow-up.

Physical activity for depression among the chronically Ill: Results from older diabetics in the Irish longitudinal study on ageing. Psychiatry Res 2023; 326:115274. [PMID: 37270867 DOI: 10.1016/j.psychres.2023.115274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Among chronically-ill older adults, the benefits of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) are established. Comorbid depressive symptoms and Major Depression are prevalent among the chronically-ill, but how different doses of MVPA may protect against depression remains understudied. Thus, using 10 years of data from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing, we quantified longitudinal associations between MVPA doses and depressive symptoms and Major Depression among chronically-ill older adults living with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Continuous MVPA (MET.min.week-1), three dose and five dose MVPA categories were examined. Depressive symptoms and Major Depression were measured using the center for Epidemiological Studies Depression and the Composite International Diagnostic Interview for Major Depressive Episode. Negative binomial regression and logistic models, adjusted for covariates, quantified associations across time. Among the 2,262 participants, those adhering to the WHO guidelines of 600-<1,200 MET.min.week-1 had 28% lower odds of Major Depression compared to those not achieving the guidelines (OR: 0.72; 95%CI: 0.53-0.98). For depressive symptoms, a higher MVPA dose was required with a 13% (IRR: 0.87; 95%CI: 0.82-0.93) lower rate of symptoms among those exceeding recommendations (1200-<2,400 MET.min.week-1). Interventions should focus on enhancing achievability of and compliance with these MVPA doses among the chronically-ill, including T2DM, to protect against depression.

Feasibility and acceptability of 'low-intensity mental health support via a telehealth-enabled network' for adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes: the LISTEN pilot study. Pilot Feasibility Stud 2023; 9:133. [PMID: 37501203 PMCID: PMC10373371 DOI: 10.1186/s40814-023-01367-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study examined the feasibility and acceptability of the low-intensity mental health support via telehealth-enabled network (LISTEN) intervention, for adults with diabetes, facilitated by diabetes health professionals (HPs). METHODS LISTEN training. Three HPs participated in three half-day online workshops and applied their learnings during training cases (maximum four). Competency was assessed with a validated tool and achieved 'satisfactory' ratings for three consecutive sessions. LISTEN pilot. A single-group, pre-post study (up to four LISTEN sessions) with online assessments at baseline, post-intervention, and 4-week follow-up. Eligible participants were adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, with diabetes distress, but excluded if they had moderate/severe depressive and/or anxiety symptoms. Feasibility was assessed via recruitment and session completion rates. Acceptability was assessed with post-intervention self-report data. Changes in diabetes distress and general emotional well-being from baseline (T1) were explored at post-intervention (T2) and at 4-week follow-up (T3). RESULTS Two HPs achieved competency (median training case sessions required: 7) and progressed to deliver LISTEN in the pilot study. In the pilot, N = 16 adults (Med [IQR] age: 60 [37-73] years; 13 women) with diabetes participated (median sessions per participant: 2). Twelve participants (75%) completed the post-intervention assessment (T2): 92% endorsed the number of sessions offered as 'just right', 75% felt comfortable talking with the HP, and 67% were satisfied with LISTEN. Perceived limitations were the structured format and narrow scope of problems addressed. Diabetes distress scores were lower post-intervention. CONCLUSIONS This pilot demonstrates the feasibility of training HPs to deliver LISTEN, and the acceptability and potential benefits of LISTEN for adults with diabetes. The findings highlight adaptations that may enhance the delivery of, and satisfaction with, LISTEN that will be tested in a hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation trial.

Prevalence of depression and association with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among individuals with type 2 diabetes: a cohort study based on NHANES 2005-2018 data. BMC Psychiatry 2023; 23:490. [PMID: 37430235 DOI: 10.1186/s12888-023-04999-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 07/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with diabetes have increased risk of depression, but there are limited nationally representative studies on this topic. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of depression, as well as its impact on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) using a prospective cohort study and a representative sample of the U.S. POPULATION METHODS We analyzed National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2005 to 2018 and linked it with the most recent publicly available National Death Index (NDI) data. Individuals aged 20 years or old who had depression measurements were included. Depression was defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) score ≥ 10, and categorized into moderate (10-14 points) and moderately severe to severe (≥ 15 points). Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the association between depression and mortality. RESULTS Among 5695 participants with T2DM, 11.6% had depression. Depression was associated with female gender, younger age, overweight, lower education, being unmarried, smoking, and a history of coronary heart disease and stroke. During a mean follow-up period of 78.2 months, 1161 all-cause deaths occurred. Total depression and moderately severe to severe depression significantly increased all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.36, 95% CI [1.09-1.70]; 1.67 [1.19-2.34]) and non-cardiovascular mortality (aHR 1.36, 95% CI [1.04-1.78]; 1.78, 95% CI [1.20-2.64]), but not cardiovascular mortality. Subgroup analysis showed a significant association between total depression and all-cause mortality in males (aHR 1.46, 95% CI [1.08-1.98]) and those aged 60 years or older (aHR 1.35, 95% CI [1.02-1.78]). Any severity of depression was not significantly associated with cardiovascular mortality in age- or gender- stratified subgroups. CONCLUSIONS In a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults with T2DM, approximately 10% experienced depression. Depression did not significantly associate with cardiovascular mortality. However, comorbid depression in T2DM patients increased the risk of all-cause and non-cardiovascular mortality. The impact of depression on mortality varied across subgroups. Therefore, healthcare providers should consider incorporating depression screening and management into routine care, especially for subgroups with specific risk factors, due to the increased risk of all-cause mortality in T2DM patients with depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia is a characteristic feature of diabetes that often results in neuropsychological complications such as depression. Diabetic individuals are more vulnerable to experience depression compared to the normal population. Thus, novel treatment approaches are required to reduce depressive symptoms among diabetic individuals. Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) such as Shengmai San (SMS) and Radix puerariae (R) are usually widely used to treat ailments such as neurological complications since ancient time. METHODS In this study, SMS was combined with R to prepare an R-SMS formulation and screened for their antidepressant activity in diabetic rats. The antidepressant potential of the prepared combination was evaluated behaviorally using open field test, novelty-induced hypophagia, and forced swim test in diabetic rats with biochemical and protein expression (PI3K, BDNF [brain-derived neurotrophic factor], and SYN [presynaptic vesicle protein]) analysis. RESULTS Diabetic rats (streptozotocin, 45 mg/kg) showed elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG) >12 mM with depressive symptoms throughout the study. Treatment with R-SMS (0.5, 1.5, and 4.5 g/kg) significantly reverted depressive symptoms in diabetic rats as evinced by significantly (p < 0.05) reduced immobility time with an increased tendency to eat food in a novel environment. Treatment with R-SMS also significantly increased the protein expression of PI3K, BDNF, and SYN protein, which play a crucial role in depression. CONCLUSION This study showed that R-SMS formulation antagonized depressive symptoms in diabetic rats; thus, this formulation might be studied further to develop as an antidepressant.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) continuing to increase globally, no comprehensive meta-analyses have been conducted quantifying premature CVD mortality. This paper reports the protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis to derive updated estimates of premature CVD mortality. METHODS AND EXPECTED OUTPUTS This review will include the studies that reported premature CVD mortality based on standard premature mortality indicators, including years of life lost (YLL), age standardized mortality rate (ASMR) or standardised mortality ratio (SMR). PUBMED, Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), CINAHL, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) will be used as the literature databases. The study selection as well as the evaluation of the quality of the included articles will be done independently by two reviewers. Pooled estimates of YLL, ASMR, and SMR will be computed by applying random-effects meta-analysis. Heterogeneity among selected studies will be assessed using the I2 statistic and Q statistic with associated p-values. A funnel plot analysis and Egger's test will be conducted to assess the potential impact of publication bias. Depending on data availability, we propose to conduct subgroup analyses by sex, geographic location, main CVD types, and study time. Reporting of our findings will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis will provide a comprehensive synthesis of the available evidence on premature CVD mortality, which is a major public health concern worldwide. The results of this meta-analysis will have important implications for clinical practice and public health policy, providing insights into strategies to prevent and manage premature CVD mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is more common in diabetic patients, with a 1.5-fold increased risk of death.Melissa officinalis (M. officinalis) have anti-diabetic and anti-depression activities. The study aimed to determine the efficacy of M. officinalis extract on depression, anxiety, and sleep quality in patients with type 2 diabetes with depressive symptoms. METHODS In this double-blind clinical trial, 60 volunteer patients (age range 20-65 years) with type 2 diabetes mellitus with symptoms of depression were randomized into the intervention (received 700 mg/day hydroalcoholic extract; n = 30) or control group (received 700 mg/day toasted flour; n = 30). Dietary intake, physical activity, anthropometric indices, FBS (Fasting blood sugar), hs-CRP(High-sensitivity C-reactiveprotein), depression, anxiety, and sleep quality were determined at the beginning and end of the study. Depression and anxiety were assessed by Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), respectively; sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). RESULTS Sixty participants received M. officinalis extract or placebo, of which 44 patients completed the 12-week double-blind clinical trial. After 12-week the mean change of depression and anxiety scores were statistically significant between the two groups (p < 0.001 and p = 0.04, respectively), but no significant differences were observed in FBS, hs-CRP, anthropometric indices, sleep quality, and blood pressure.In the intervention group, there was a significant decrease in depression and anxiety severity(p < 0.001 and p = 0.01, respectively) at the end of the study compared to the baseline. TRIAL REGISTRATION All protocols in this study were followed in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration (1989 revision).

Long-term Effects of a Collaborative Care Model on Metabolic Outcomes and Depressive Symptoms: 36-Month Outcomes from the INDEPENDENT Intervention. J Gen Intern Med 2023; 38:1623-1630. [PMID: 36596908 PMCID: PMC10212897 DOI: 10.1007/s11606-022-07958-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Collaborative care (CC) is a multicomponent team-based approach to providing mental health care with systematic integration into outpatient medical settings. The 12-month INDEPENDENT CC intervention improved joint disease control measures in patients with both depression and diabetes at 12 and 24 months following randomization. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the durability of intervention effects on patient outcomes at 36 months following randomization. PARTICIPANTS Adult patients with poorly controlled T2D and depression in India randomized to CC or usual care. DESIGN Post hoc analyses of between-group differences in patient outcomes at 36 months post-randomization (N = 331) and maintenance of outcomes from 12 to 36 months (N = 314). MAIN MEASURES We evaluated combined risk factor improvement since baseline, defined as ≥ 50.0% reduction in Symptom Checklist Depression Scale (SCL-20) scores along with reduction of at least 0.5 percentage point hemoglobin A1C, 5 mmHg systolic blood pressure, or 10 mg/dL low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Improvements in single risk factors were also examined. KEY RESULTS There were no between-group differences in improvements since baseline in multiple or single risk factors at 36 months. Patients in the CC group with improved outcomes at 12 months were more likely to maintain a ≥ 50.0% reduction since baseline in SCL-20 scores (CC [54.9%] vs. UC [40.9%]; RR: 1.27 [95% CI: 1.04, 1.56]) and 0.5 percentage point reduction since baseline in hemoglobin A1C (CC [31.9%] vs. UC [19.5%]; RR: 1.64 [95% CI: 1.11, 2.41]) at 36 months. CONCLUSIONS While improvements since baseline in patient outcomes did not differ between the collaborative care and usual care groups at 36 months, patients who received CC were more likely to maintain improvements in depressive symptoms and glucose levels at 36 months if they had achieved these improvements at the end of active intervention. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02022111.

Abstract
We evaluate the effectiveness of psychological interventions for depression in people with NCDs in South Asia and explore the individual, organizational, and policy-level barriers and facilitators for the implementation and scaling up of these interventions. Eight databases (and local web pages) were searched in May 2022. We conducted random effects models to evaluate the pooled effect of psychological interventions on depression in people with NCDs. We extracted the individual, organizational, and policy level barriers and facilitators. We found five randomized control trials, nine qualitative studies, and 35 policy documents that fitted the inclusion criteria. The pooled standardized mean difference in depression comparing psychological interventions with usual care was -2.31 (95% CI, -4.16 to -0.45; p = .015, I2 = 96.0%). We found barriers and facilitators to intervention delivery, mental health appears in the policy agenda in Bangladesh and Pakistan. However, there is a lack of policies relating to training in mental health for NCD health providers and a lack of integration of mental health care with NCD care. All of the psychological interventions reported to be effective in treating depression in this population. There are important delivery and policy barriers to the implementation and scaling up of psychological interventions for people with NCDs.

Abstract
Poor lifestyle habits, such as physical inactivity and poor diets, are highly prevalent within society and even more so among patients with chronic disease. The need to stem poor lifestyle habits has led to the development of a new field of Lifestyle Medicine, whose mission is to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic diseases through lifestyle interventions. Three fields within Cardiology relate to this mission: Cardiac Rehabilitation, Preventive Cardiology, and Behavioral Cardiology. Each of these three fields have contributed substantially to the reduction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. The historic contributions of these three cardiac fields are reviewed as well as the challenges each of these fields has faced in optimizing the application of lifestyle medicine practices. A shared agenda between Cardiology and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine could further the utilization of behavioral interventions. This review suggests seven steps that could be shared by these organizations and other medical societies. First, there is a need to develop and promulgate the assessment of lifestyle factors as "vital signs" during patient visits. Second, developing a strong partnership between the fields of Cardiology and Physiatry could improve important aspects of cardiac care, including a potential redesign of cardiac stress testing. Third, behavioral evaluations should be optimized at patients' entrée points into medical care since these may be considered "windows of opportunity". Fourth, there is a need to broaden cardiac rehabilitation into inexpensive programs and make this program eligible for patients with risk factors but no known CVD. Fifth, lifestyle medicine education should be integrated into the core competencies for relevant specialties. Sixth, there is a need for inter-societal advocacy to promote lifestyle medicine practices. Seventh, the well-being effects of healthy lifestyle behaviors, such as their impact on one's sense of vitality, should be emphasized.

Abstract
The larger number of adults who enter their senior years with a high burden of chronic diseases has led to new metrics designed to promote health pro-activity, such as the calculation of one's "healthspan". These efforts call for re-evaluation as to what is meant by "health". A large body of epidemiologic and clinical investigation identifies that good health is shaped by specific health behaviors (aerobic exercise, resistance training, sleep, and good diet quality) and four psychological determinants (positive emotions, positive mindsets, purposeful living, and social connectivity). In common, each of these determinants produce "vitality", which can be defined as having the pleasing sensation of feeling energetic. Having a strong sense of vitality produces a sense of agency, provides resilience, and serves as a leading indicator of good health. Importantly, vitality can be assessed as a single item "vital sign" in clinical practice and can be promoted by recommending simple steps to patients, such as suggesting that they initiate walking or other aerobic activities. Because health habits and psychological determinants of health are inter-related, such simple steps can initiate a "virtuous cycle" of health improvement. An emphasis on vitality can also encourage patients to become more cognizant of their level of energy and manage it through health-promoting behaviors rather than quick fix behaviors. Finally, vitality assessment and prescription can promote more successful aging. In sum, an updated and more clinically useful definition of health recognizes that it is a dynamic entity that is influenced at any time by one's engagement in physical and psychological practices that promote health. Accordingly, an updated definition of health is proposed: good health is characterized by physical and psychological well-being and is associated with vitality.

Physical and psychiatric comorbidities among patients with severe mental illness as seen in Uganda. Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci 2023; 273:613-625.

Abstract
While psychiatric and physical comorbidities in severe mental illness (SMI) have been associated with increased mortality and poor clinical outcomes, problem has received little attention in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study established the prevalence of psychiatric (schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder, and recurrent major depressive disorder) and physical (HIV/AIDS, syphilis, hypertension and obesity) comorbidities and associated factors among 1201 out-patients with SMI (schizophrenia, depression and bipolar affective disorder) attending care at two hospitals in Uganda. Participants completed an assessment battery including structured, standardised and locally translated instruments. SMIs were established using the MINI International Neuropsychiatric Interview version 7.2. We used logistic regression to determine the association between physical and psychiatric comorbidities and potential risk factors. Bipolar affective disorder was the most prevalent (66.4%) psychiatric diagnoses followed by schizophrenia (26.6%) and recurrent major depressive disorder (7.0%). Prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity was 9.1%, while physical disorder comorbidity was 42.6%. Specific comorbid physical disorders were hypertension (27.1%), obesity (13.8%), HIV/AIDS (8.2%) and syphilis (4.8%). Potentially modifiable factors independently significantly associated with psychiatric and physical comorbidities were: use of alcohol for both syphilis and hypertension comorbidities; and use of a mood stabilisers and khat in comorbidity with obesity. Only psychiatric comorbidity was positively associated with the negative outcomes of suicidality and risky sexual behaviour. The healthcare models for psychiatric care in LMICs such as Uganda should be optimised to address the high burden of psychiatric and physical comorbidities.

Abstract
Early and intensive management of type 2 diabetes has been shown to delay disease progression, reduce the risk of cardiorenal complications and prolong time to treatment failure. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are being increasingly recognized for their potential in early disease management, with recent guideline updates recommending second-line use of this injectable drug class alongside oral glucose-lowering drugs. GLP-1RAs target at least six of the eight core defects implicated in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and offer significant glycaemic and weight-related improvements over other second-line agents in head-to-head trials. In addition, placebo-controlled clinical trials have shown cardiovascular protection with GLP-1RA use. Even so, this therapeutic class is underused in primary care, largely owing to clinical inertia and patient-related barriers to early intensification with GLP-1RAs. Fortunately, clinicians can overcome barriers to treatment acceptance through patient education and training, and management of treatment expectations. In this review we comment on global and Australian guideline updates and evidence in support of early intensification with this therapeutic class, and provide clinicians with practical advice for GLP-1RA use in primary care.

Prevalence of comorbid depression and associated factors among hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Hunan, China. BMC Psychiatry 2023; 23:158. [PMID: 36918821 PMCID: PMC10012793 DOI: 10.1186/s12888-023-04657-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression and diabetes are major health challenges, with heavy economic social burden, and comorbid depression in diabetes could lead to a wide range of poor health outcomes. Although many descriptive studies have highlighted the prevalence of comorbid depression and its associated factors, the situation in Hunan, China, remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the prevalence of comorbid depression and associated factors among hospitalized type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in Hunan, China. METHODS This cross-sectional study involved 496 patients with T2DM who were referred to the endocrinology inpatient department of Xiangya Hospital affiliated to Central South University, Hunan. Participants' data on socio-demographic status, lifestyle factors, T2DM-related characteristics, and social support were collected. Depression was evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-depression subscale. All statistical analyses were conducted using the R software version 4.2.1. RESULTS The prevalence of comorbid depression among hospitalized T2DM patients in Hunan was 27.22% (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 23.3-31.1%). Individuals with depression differed significantly from those without depression in age, educational level, per capita monthly household income, current work status, current smoking status, current drinking status, regular physical activity, duration of diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, stroke, fatty liver, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, insulin use, HbA1c, and social support. A multivariable logistic regression model showed that insulin users (adjusted OR = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.02-3.42) had a higher risk of depression, while those with regular physical activity (adjusted OR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.30-0.77) or greater social support (adjusted OR = 0.20, 95% CI: 0.11-0.34) had a lower risk of depression. The area under the curve of the receiver operator characteristic based on this model was 0.741 with a sensitivity of 0.785 and specificity of 0.615. CONCLUSIONS Depression was moderately prevalent among hospitalized T2DM patients in Hunan, China. Insulin treatment strategies, regular physical activity, and social support were significantly independently associated with depression, and the multivariable model based on these three factors demonstrated good predictivity, which could be applied in clinical practice.
