Key result
Depression in indigent patients with type 2 diabetes was significantly associated with lower adjusted physical (36.1 vs. 39.0, p<0.001) and mental (41.6 vs. 46.8, p<0.001) quality of life scores.

Does depression affect metabolic control and quality of life in indigent patients with type 2 diabetes?
Absolute Event Rate: 36.1% vs 39%
p-value: p=<0.001
In indigent patients with type 2 diabetes, depression is associated with significantly decreased physical and mental quality of life, but not with worse metabolic control after adjusting for covariates.
Egede et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes (n=201). Depression vs. Nondepressed was evaluated on Adjusted SF-12 Physical Component Summary (PCS) score (p=<0.001). Depression in indigent patients with type 2 diabetes was significantly associated with lower adjusted physical (36.1 vs. 39.0, p<0.001) and mental (41.6 vs. 46.8, p<0.001) quality of life scores.
