Gender differences in the relationship between depressive symptoms and diabetes associated with cognitive-affective symptoms.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the frequent co-occurrence of depression and diabetes, gender differences in their relationship remain unclear.

Aims

This exploratory study examined if gender modifies the association between depressive symptoms, prediabetes and diabetes with cognitive-affective and somatic depressive symptom clusters.

Method

Cross-sectional analyses were conducted on 29 619 participants from the 2007-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Depressive symptoms were measured by the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyse the relationship between depressive symptoms and diabetes. Multiple linear regression was used to analyse the relationship between depressive symptom clusters and diabetes.
