“…The finding of a high prevalence of symptoms of depression in prediabetic (26.4%) and diabetic (32.0%) subjects theoretically was neither unexpected nor incongruous with previous studies. This result was also comparable with a study from neighbouring country India (where the prevalence rate of depression was 27.0% among DM and 11.1% in non-DM subjects) [ 22 ] and studies from round the world (prevalence of depression among DM subjects) like Korea (22.6%) [ 23 ], Iran (71.8%) [ 24 ], Greece (33.0%) [ 25 ], South Australia (24.0%) [ 26 ], and South Asian people in United Kingdom (20.6%) [ 27 ].…”

BackgroundDepression and glucose abnormality are increasing in Bangladesh including its rural area. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of depression in an urbanizing rural population of Bangladesh with or without glucose abnormality (including diabetes mellitus [DM], and pre-diabetes which combines impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance pre-DM).MethodsA total of 2,293 subjects aged ≥20 years were investigated. Sociodemographic and anthropometric details, blood pressure, fasting (fasting plasma glucose) and 2 hours after 75 g plasma glucose (2-hour plasma glucose), were studied. Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale was used to assess depression.ResultsThe overall prevalence of DM was 7.9% and pre-DM was 8.6%. Prevalence of depression was 15.31% (n=351; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.59 to 1.36) with mean depressive score 17.62±3.49. Female were more likely to have depression (17.16%). The 22.35% of male and 29.46% of female with pre-DM and 26.58% male and 36.27% female with DM had depressive symptoms. There was no significant variation in the mean age of different groups (healthy, depressed and with glucose abnormality). Depression was significantly associated with age, marital status, occupation, high physical activity, and low body mass index. The odds ratio (OR) for depression was significantly increased in patients with glucose abnormality compared with those without pre-DM (OR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.76 to 3.51; P<0.000) and DM (OR, 3.27; 95% CI, 2.33 to 4.60; P<0.000).ConclusionPrevalence of depression found alarming in our study area though lesser than previous studies and it is significantly related to glucose abnormality. The study reveals that mental health should get more focused specially along with metabolic diseases.

“…Subjects who answered, "I have been diagnosed with diabetes" were considered to have diabetes, and those reporting "I have not been diagnosed with diabetes" or "I have never been diagnosed with diabetes" were considered to not have diabetes. Women who responded with "I do not know" were considered to have missing values [24].…”

Association between age at menarche and diabetes in Korean post-menopausal women: results from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2009)

POST-MENOPAUSAL women are highly exposed to multiple health problems and risk of diabetes is higher in postmenopausal women than in their pre-menopausal counterparts [1]. Diabetes decrease healthrelated quality of life because of diabetic complications, and increase burden of disease [2]. Considering the fact that diabetes-caused death rate per 100,000 is 37.5 in women aged 50-69 years and 186.9 in women aged 70-80 years, whereas 2.7 in women aged 15-49 years, prevention and treatment for diabetes are an important health issue for post-menopausal women [3].Age at menarche is defined as the age at the onset of menstruation in adolescents and is frequently used Abstract. Early menarche is known to be associated with diabetes, however this association remains controversial. Our study aimed to investigate the possible association between age at menarche and diabetes prevalence in post-menopausal Korean women. This study included 3,254 post-menopausal Korean women aged 50-85 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey IV (KNHANES 2007(KNHANES -2009). Logistic regression analyses were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) for diabetes prevalence. Levels of biochemical markers were compared according to groups by age at menarche. Women in the earlier menarche age group (10-12 years) showed higher levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and scores of homeostatic model assessment in the insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index than other groups (p <0.05). After adjusting for potential confounding factors, early age at menarche was significantly associated with a higher prevalence of diabetes (OR 1.86, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.07-3.23). The observed association remained significant despite additional adjustment for body mass index and waist circumference (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.03-3.23) and despite further adjustments for FBG levels and HOMA-IR index (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.11-4.55). Our findings strengthen the hypothesis that younger age at menarche is associated with increased diabetes prevalence in the Korean population.

“…Individuals with diabetes have been reported as having a higher prevalence of depression compared to those without the condition. The prevalence of depression in people with diabetes is higher in women 8 , 9 , unmarried people [5] , those with more children [10] , and those with low vitamin B6 11 , 12 . Also, patients with both depression and diabetes have low adherence to diet and exercise instructions, which may contribute to the worsening of their quality of life and the deterioration of their diabetes [13] .…”

ObjectivesThere are an increasing number of studies being carried out on depression in patients with diabetes. Individuals with diabetes have been reported as having a higher prevalence of depression compared to those without diabetes. However, only a few studies involving Korean patients have been conducted. The aims of this study were to examine the prevalence of depression and to find various risk factors according to the degree of depression among Korean patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodsAn Ansan-community-based epidemiological study was conducted from 2005 to 2012. The total number of participants in this study was 3,540, from which patients with diabetes (n = 753) have been selected. The presence of depression was evaluated using the Beck Depression Inventory total score.ResultsThe prevalence of depression was 28.8%. The mean age of participants was 55.5 ± 8.2 years. We divided the participants into three groups (without-depression, moderate-depression, and severe-depression groups) to examine the depression prevalence among Korean T2DM patients. The unemployed participants had 2.40 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.21–4.76], the low-income participants had 2.57 (95% CI 1.52–4.35), the participants using an oral diabetes medicine or insulin had 2.03 (95% CI 1.25–3.32), the participants who are currently smoking had 2.03 (95% CI 1.10–3.73), and those without regular exercise had 1.91 (95% CI 1.17–3.14) times higher odds of depression in the severe-depression group, compared with the without-depression group.ConclusionThere was a significant association between depression prevalence and diabetes, and we found various risk factors according to the degree of depression in Korean patients with T2DM.
