Associations of HIV and Depression with Incident Diabetes Mellitus: Veterans Aging Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Persons with HIV (PWH) are at increasingly higher risk for metabolic complications, including diabetes mellitus (DM). Additionally, depression is highly prevalent among PWH and has been associated with increased risk for DM in the general population. However, the association of HIV and depression with incident DM has not been well established.

Methods

Using the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS), we selected adults with and without HIV who did not have DM at baseline. Prevalent depression was defined as having a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score of ≥10. Incident DM was identified using validated Kelly's criteria. Basic clinical and demographic characteristics were collected, and cox proportional hazards regression models were run to test the association
