Key result
Self-reported depression without current symptoms was associated with a 36% increased odds of heart-related disorders (OR 1.36) compared to individuals with no depression.

Is depression status associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in Canadian older adults?
Self-reported depression is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases among Canadian older adults, with the association varying by depression status, sex, and age.
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether cardiovascular disease (CVD) is associated with depression status. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were used to evaluate the associations between depression and CVDs. Sex- and age-stratified analyses suggested that the increased ORs were more prevalent in men and people aged < 65 years. CONCLUSIONS: Seniors with self-reported depression are associated with an increased risk of CVDs, the association varies by depression status, sex and age.

Liu et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular disease and depression (n=29,328). Self-reported depression vs. No depression was evaluated on Heart related disorders (HRD) (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.18-1.58, p=<0.0001). Self-reported depression without current symptoms was associated with a 36% increased odds of heart-related disorders (OR 1.36) compared to individuals with no depression.
