Depression in childhood to early adulthood and respiratory health in early adulthood.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Both depression and respiratory disease are common today in young populations. However, little is known about the relationship between them.

Aims

This study aims to explore the association between depression in childhood to early adulthood and respiratory health outcomes in early adulthood, and the potential underlying mechanisms.

Method

A prospective study was conducted based on the Swedish BAMSE (Barn, Allergi, Miljö, Stockholm, Epidemiologi [Children, Allergy, Milieu, Stockholm, Epidemiology]) birth cohort (n = 4089). We identified clinically diagnosed depression through the dispensation of antidepressants, using national register data confirmed by self-reported diagnosis. At the 24-year follow-up, respiratory health was assessed via questionnaire
