BACKGROUND: The move away from investigating mental disorders as whole using sum scores to the analysis of symptom-level interactions using network analysis has provided new insights into comorbidities. The current study explored the dynamic interactions between depressive and anxiety symptoms in older Chinese adults with diabetes mellitus (DM) and identified central and bridge symptoms in the depression-anxiety network to provide potential targets for prevention and intervention for depression and anxiety...

BACKGROUND: Older people experiencing depression and anxiety have higher rates of health service utilisation than others, but little is known about whether these influence their seeking of emergency care. The aim was to examine the associations between symptoms of depression and the use of emergency health care, in an Australian context, among a population of people aged 70 years and over initially free of cardiovascular disease, dementia or major physical disability. METHODS: We undertook secondary analyses of data from a large cohort of community-dwelling Australians aged [Formula: see text]70 years...

INTRODUCTION: Depression is increasingly affecting mothers in poor countries such as Uganda. Various interventions have been implemented to tackle this problem, but their sustainability is under-researched. Here we present follow-up data on maternal depression six years after a cluster-randomized controlled maternal education trial in rural Uganda. METHODS: The intervention lasted six months and consisted of nutrition, hygiene, sanitation and child stimulation education, delivered to 511 mothers of 6 to 8 months' old children...

OBJECTIVES: Depression and loneliness co-occur frequently. This study examined interactive changes between depression and loneliness among older adults prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic from a longitudinal network perspective. METHODS: This network study was based on data from three waves (2016-2017, 2018-2019, and 2020) of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). Depression and loneliness were measured with the eight-item version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-8) and three item version of the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Loneliness Scale, respectively...

BACKGROUND: Urbanization remains an important factor affecting the mental health of people. Currently, there is insufficient research on depression among the offspring of women who have children at an advanced maternal age (AMA). The objective of this study is to investigate the urban and rural disparities in depressive symptoms among the offspring of AMA and related influencing factors. METHODS: In this study, a total of 1273 offspring born to AMA were selected from the fourth wave of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) database...

BACKGROUND: There has been a long-standing debate on whether depressive symptoms are associated with dementia. The aim of this study was to examine whether depressive symptoms were associated with a high risk for dementia in Chinese adults. METHODS: A total of 13,426 Chinese adults (≥45 years old) from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) baseline were selected for analysis. Depressive symptoms were assessed by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10)...

BACKGROUND: Although sleep duration and depression were correlated, their temporal sequence and how the sequence influence on future risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) remained undetermined. This study aimed to explore the temporal relationship between sleep duration and depression, and its association with future CVD risk. METHODS: We included 10,629 middle-aged and elderly participants with repeated measurements of sleep duration and depressive symptoms (measured by Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale [CESD]) at the first two visits from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study...

BACKGROUND: Adverse cardiovascular events during pregnancy (e.g., pre-eclampsia) occur at higher rates among individuals with pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity (body mass index [BMI]≥25kg/m 2 ) and have been associated with postpartum depression. However, it is unclear whether cardiovascular health (CVH), defined more holistically than the absence of cardiovascular conditions in pregnancy, relates to postpartum psychological functioning. The present study examined whether changes in CVH during the perinatal period predicted postpartum psychological functioning among individuals with pre-pregnancy BMI≥25kg/m 2 ...

INTRODUCTION: The menopause-specific relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and depressive symptoms were not known. We aimed to explore the association between SUA and depressive symptoms stratified by menopausal status. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study, a total of 4845 females were enrolled from China health and retirement longitudinal study (CHARLS) in China. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD) were used to measure depressive symptoms...

BACKGROUND: Insomnia symptoms are often associated with increased levels of inflammatory biomarkers. However, such associations have not been adequately explored in adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD). This study aimed to examine the associations between insomnia symptoms with inflammatory cytokines in adolescents with first-episode and recurrent MDD. METHODS: From January to December 2021, this study included 164 adolescents with MDD and 76 healthy controls (HCs)...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested the dual sensory loss (DSL) is linked to depression, and that they are associated with higher healthcare expenditures, respectively. However, the association between DSL, depression and healthcare expenditures remains ambiguous. OBJECTIVES: The current study aims to examine the association between DSL, depression and healthcare expenditures as well as catastrophic health expenditures (CHE) among Chinese people aged 45 and above...

BACKGROUND: Depression can cause suicidal attempts among prisoners and it is intimidating to speculate the deteriorating mental status of them. Since, there is very limited research on the depression of prisoners in Nepal and as prisoners have rights to health care without any discrimination, this cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of depression and its associated factors among inmates. METHODS: An institute-based cross-sectional study was employed on 352 inmates selected by a systematic random sampling method from July 15 to August 15 2022...

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Parents who experience depressive symptoms are less likely to use positive parenting behaviors, in part because of sad affect and inconsistency, which can lead to disengaged parenting. Their children also are more likely to get too little sleep, get too much sleep, or have trouble sleeping, leading to increased child irritability and defiance, which may make it more difficult for a parent to use clear rules and result in more harsh parenting behaviors. The current study examined whether adolescent sleep (too little, too much, trouble sleeping) mediated the relation between maternal depression and parenting behaviors (harsh parenting, positive parenting, clear rules)...

INTRODUCTION: In this study, we investigated the prevalence of depression, depression treatment, and symptom burden in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and examined their associations with the center for epidemiologic studies depression scale revised (CESD-R) scores. METHODS: The Prospective Registry in Scleroderma at Massachusetts General Hospital (PRISM) is a longitudinal registry of patients with SSc. Among participants with CESD-R score ≥ 16, indicating possible depression, a chart review was performed for mental health diagnoses and treatments...

OBJECTIVE: People of Turkish origin (also referred to as "with a Turkish migrant background") are one of the largest migrant groups in Germany and show disparities across different stress-related health outcomes. Specifically, women of Turkish origin in Germany have a greater risk for some mental health issues and adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes compared to women without migrant background. We tested differences between women of Turkish origin and women without migrant background in self-reported pregnancy and postpartum stress experiences and depressive symptoms...

OBJECTIVE: Residents of Puerto Rico are disproportionately exposed to social and environmental stressors (e.g., Hurricane María and the 2020 sequence of tremors) known to be associated with psychological distress. Shift-and-persist (SP), or the ability to adapt the self to stressors while preserving focus on the future, has been linked with lower psychological distress, but no study has evaluated this in Puerto Rico. This study examined the association between SP and psychological distress (including that from natural disasters) in a sample of young adults in Puerto Rico...
