Shared and unique risk factors for depression and diabetes mellitus in a longitudinal study, implications for prevention: an analysis of a longitudinal population sample aged ⩾45 years.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of this study was to examine shared and unique risk factors for incident depression and diabetes mellitus in a national longitudinal population-based survey.

Methods

Canadian National Population Health Survey (NPHS) longitudinal study was used. A subsample of the initial NPHS sample (n = 4845), free of depression or diabetes mellitus at baseline was tracked over a 10-year period. Univariate and multivariate modified Poisson regression models were used to estimate the relative risk (RR). Stratified analyses by sex were conducted to measure its moderating role. The goodness-of-fit of the various models was tested.

Results

The cumulative incidence rate of major depressive disorder and incident diabetes mellitus at 10-year follow-up were 4.1
