Depression has been shown to have adverse effects on blood pressure (BP) and is associated with high blood pressure variability (BPV). In turn, high short-term BPV has been related to eventual cardiovascular risk.

- The study investigated the link between early-onset depression in young adults and metabolic syndrome (MetS), focusing on probands with a history of childhood depression, their unaffected siblings, and healthy controls.
- Results showed that both probands and their siblings had higher MetS scores compared to healthy controls, indicating similar metabolic issues.
- The findings suggest that understanding different depression phenotypes is crucial, as MetS may precede and act as a risk factor for developing depression in those at risk.
Background And Purpose: The revised Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) developed by N. L. Collins is a widely used questionnaire to measure adult attachment.

First, the "Risk factors of childhood depression" grant is presented briefly as an initial research study in which the subjects of the current studies were recruited. This is a prominently large clinical sample in the field of child psychiatry even on an international level.
