Why the study?
An association exists between MDD, suicide attempts, and glucose metabolism, but suicide attempts in young MDD patients with comorbid impaired fasting glucose have been less well studied.
Population
917 young patients with FEDN MDD, including 116 with comorbid IFG
Comparison
Suicide attempters vs non-attempters among young FEDN MDD patients with comorbid IFG
Design
Cross-sectional study

IFG may flag elevated suicide attempt risk in young FEDN MDD; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before any screening change.
Young MDD patients with impaired fasting glucose have a high rate of suicide attempts, which are independently associated with anxiety symptoms and thyroid function parameters.
