Discussion

Observational analysis finds an L-shaped relationship between fasting blood glucose and anxiety in Chinese MDD patients, indicating increased risk.

An elevated risk of comorbid anxiety is linked to lower fasting blood glucose levels.
Specifically, when fasting blood glucose falls below 4.8 mmol/L, the anxiety risk increases significantly.
Analysis based on first-episode untreated major depressive disorder in Chinese Han individuals reveals notable patterns.
These findings highlight a need for attention to glucose levels in managing anxiety within depressive disorders.
