发帖数: 30 | 1 two common conditions — depression and diabetes — frequently appear
together, and a new study by
researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health suggests that each
illness may be both a consequence
and a contributor to the other.
The 10-year study followed 65,381 women, ages 50 to 75, who were
participating in the Nurses' Health Study.
Over the course of the research, depression and new cases of Type 2 diabetes
were monitored: 2,844 women
from the group were diagnosed with diabetes and 7,415 women developed
depression — unsurprising
numbers based on the prevalence of both illnesses.
Researchers also found a correlation between the conditions: women who
suffered from depression were 17%
more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes during the study period than women
who weren't depressed; women
with diabetes were 29% more likely to develop depression than women without
diabetes, even after adjusting
for other mood disorders and risk factors, such as weight and lack of
frequent exercise.
