  Figure 1.. Adjusted Hazard Ratios (HRs) of Cardiovascular Disease Events Risk, According to Depressive Symptoms Scores Graphs show HRs for cardiovascular disease (A), heart disease (B), and stroke (C) adjusted for age, sex, residence, marital status, educational level, smoking status, drinking status, systolic blood pressure, and body mass index; history of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and chronic kidney disease; and use of hypertension medications, diabetes medications, and lipid-lowering therapy. Data were fitted by a restricted cubic spline Cox proportional hazards regression model. The depressive symptoms score ranges from 0 to 30, with the highest score representing the lowest risk of depressive symptoms. Solid lines indicate HRs, and dashed lines indicate 95% CIs.

  Figure 2.. Association Between Depressive Symptoms and Cardiovascular Disease Events Risk Stratified by Different Factors Graphs show hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for cardiovascular disease (A), heart disease (B), and stroke (C) adjusted for age, sex, residence, marital status, educational level, smoking status, drinking status, and body mass index (calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared); and history of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease.
