Abstract EN
To determine whether obesity, inflammation, or conventional risk factors are related to depressive symptoms (DeprSy) in the general population.
Responses to 3 questions served to assess sense of depression.
Body mass index (BMI), C-reactive protein (CRP), and other epidemiologic data of participants were available.
In 1940, individuals who consulted a psychiatrist in the preceding year, or felt depressed (together DeprSy), 248 were female.
Logistic regressions for adjusted associations of BMI with DeprSy were not significant as was serum CRP level.
Diabetes and, in men, fasting glucose concentrations were associated with DeprSy.
Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was robustly inversely associated with DeprSy in diverse models at ORs of 0.74 (95%CI 0.63; 0.89) independent of confounders, including antihypertensive and lipid-lowering medication.
The use of antidepressants could not explain the reduced BP.
Women are predisposed to depression with which, not BMI and CRP, but SBP is inversely associated.
Anti-inflammatory substances produced in depressed persons might explain the slightly lower BP.
