Is there an association between serum cholesterol levels and depressive state in human dock visitors?
This study suggests a significant association between serum cholesterol levels and depressive state, independent of multiple confounding factors.
Terao et al. (2000) conducted a cross-sectional in Depressive state (n=13,571). Low serum cholesterol levels vs. Higher serum cholesterol levels was evaluated on Depressive state score.
