Longitudinal relationship of diabetes and depressive symptoms in older adults from Mexico: a secondary data analysis

Abstract: IntroductionSeveral studies have argued a causal relationship between diabetes and depression, while others have highlighted that their association is a result of common risk factors. Because Mexico is a country with a high prevalence of diabetes, and diabetes and depression are a frequent comorbidity, we chose this country to investigate the longitudinal relationship of these two conditions, focusing on the influence of demographic, health, and socioeconomic factors which could act as common risk factors for … Show more

“…A previous large population study [ 25 ] analyzed the effect of duration of sleep on SRH among older people, which is similar to this study. Our result was similar to a previous study that showed that poor SRH is associated with a higher prevalence of depression in older adults [ 26 ]. Other studies reported that older adults with diabetes have a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms compared with those without the condition [ 27 ].…”

“…This change was partly explained by improved treatment and awareness of these psychological conditions [ 54 ]. Similarly, the decline in depressive symptom rates was observed in a population-based sample of Mexican adults with DM (aged ≥ 50 years) from 2001 to 2015 [ 23 ].…”

“…Epidemiological studies from the last two decades have observed an overall increase in depression and anxiety prevalence in the general population [ 48 , 56 , 57 ] and CVDs and DM populations [ 10 , 57 , 58 ]. In contrast, other studies report that these mental conditions are on the rise in general adult populations [ 7 , 59 , 60 ] and populations with CVDs and DM [ 23 , 53 , 61 ].…”

“…On the other hand, evidence suggests that depression appears to be the result of a combination of socioeconomic and health factors, not exclusive to diabetes. Nevertheless, studies agree that women tend to have a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms than men, and that chronic degenerative diseases may play a role in increasing depressive symptoms and weight gain [ 25 , 26 ].…”
