“…27 Such abnormalities are also observed in depressed patients of all ages, and can be considered as a neurobiological link between MetS and depression. 28,29 It is interesting that in our study high triglyceride levels was the MetS component with the most significant association with depressive symptoms. This highlights the relevance of the emergence of depressive symptoms in older adults to ensue lipid metabolism abnormalities.…”

“…49 There is evidence from several studies that the prevalence of MetS among adults with MDD or depressive symptoms is elevated. 50 Similarly, an increased hazard for MetS among people with BD has been documented across continents, countries, and cultures. 51,52 Each MetS component has been documented to be present at a higher rate than with matched people in the general population, with abdominal obesity being the most replicated finding.…”

“…[2,[4][5][6][7][8] Depression is also associated with significantly worse outcomes in a number of medical conditions, and depression is an independent risk factor for early mortality (even after accounting for sociodemographic factors, suicide, and biological and behavioral risk factors, such as smoking, alcohol, and physical illness). [9][10][11][12][13] Various explanations for ''accelerated aging'' in depression have been proposed, such as the ''glucocorticoid cascade'' hypothesis [14,15] and ''allostatic load.''…”
