Association between anthropometric indices and mortality risk among individuals with depression: A population-based cohort study.

Key Points

This research aims to examine the relationship between body measurements and the risk of death in individuals suffering from depression.
Population-based cohort study analyzing individuals with depression
Assessment of body mass index and waist circumference
Joint analysis of anthropometric indices in relation to mortality risk
Both body mass index and waist circumference showed an inverse relationship with mortality risk.
The association remained significant when analyzing the indices together.

Abstract

< 0.001).ConclusionsWe found that both body mass index and waist circumference were inversely associated with mortality risk in individuals with depression, and this inverse association remained robust even when body mass index and waist circumference were jointly analyzed according to their respective categories.
