Abstract

The aim of current study is to assess the cross-sectional association of chronic non-communicable diseases (diabetes mellitus, arthritis, asthma, chronic lung disease, angina, and stroke) with both diagnosed and undiagnosed depression in the World Health Organization (WHO) Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE) Wave 1, a study of adults in six low- and middle-income countries. A total of 41,810 participants, aged ≥ 18 years, were included. Depression status was assessed by standard methods derived from the World Mental Health Survey (WHH-CIDI). Undiagnosed depression was defined as a depressed person who did not report history of diagnosis/treatment for depression. Associations between depression/undiagnosed depression and chronic diseases, adjusting for country of residence, demographics and chronic diseases risk factors were assessed. Depression was detected in 2508 (6.0%) cases, from whom 2098 (87%) were undiagnosed. Diabetes (Odds ratio:1.47[95%CI:1.24,1.75]), arthritis (2.14[1.82,2.52]), asthma (3.36[2.73,4.14]), chronic lung disease (3.74[3.10,4.51]), angina (3.20[2.66,3.85]), and stroke (3.14[2.55,3.86]) were associated with depression (p-values < 0.001). Being older, female, underweight, and having lower educati...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Aging-Associated Metabolic Disorders

Age is associated with many metabolic disorders including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease. The mediators in aging process have been suggested to play a part in the cellular processes responsible for these metabolic disorders. Here is the latest research on aging-associated metabolic disorders.
