Why the study?
Do poor glucose metabolism and diabetes increase the risk of future depression in older adults?
Do poor glucose metabolism and diabetes increase the risk of future depression in older adults?
Poor glucose metabolism and diabetes predict future depressive symptoms in older adults over a 2-year period.
Depression screening may be considered in older adults with diabetes; leaves open whether glycemic control reduces depressive risk.
These data suggest that poor glucose metabolism and diabetes are risk factors for future depression in older adults. There was no evidence of a U-shaped association.
