Objective: Insulin resistance (IR) frequently co-occurs with depression, but inconsistent associations between IR and depression have been reported, and less is known about the association in obesity, a major risk factor for both IR and depression. Thus the association between depression status and IR in a nationally representative sample of the US adults with obesity was evaluated.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 3507 adults with obesity from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005 to 2016. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was used, where IR was defined as a HOMA-IR value greater than its 75 percentile. The Patient Health Questionnaire 9 was used to assess the depression status. Multivariate logistic regression model was applied to evaluate the association between depression status and IR.
Results: The cut-off value of HOMA-IR in adults with obesity was 5.5, and the prevalence of IR was 26.3% in men, 19.8% in women. The association of depression status with IR depended upon gender (P for depression status by gender interaction = 0.04). Depression status was positively associated with IR in women (P = 0.01), where the ORs (95% CIs) for the risk of IR in the mild, moderate, severe depression status were 1.79 (1.21-2.64), 1.95 (1.10-3.45), and 2.21 (1.04-4.71), respectively (P for trend = 0.002). No association was found in men (P = 0.91).
Conclusion: Positive association between IR and depression status was identified in women with obesity, where the risk of IR increased with the level of depression status, while no association was found in men with obesity.

Associations between interpersonal and community-level violence experiences and HIV outcomes: implications for violence screening in Ryan White Clinics.

Violence experience, interpersonal and community-level, is commonly reported by people living with HIV (PLWH). Understanding the impact of the various forms of violence on HIV outcomes is critical for prioritizing violence screening and support resources in care settings. From February 2021 to December 2022, among 285 PLWH purposively sampled to attain diversity by gender, race/ethnicity, and HIV care retention status in Atlanta, Georgia, we examined interpersonal and community violence experiences and proxy measures of violence (post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression) and their associations with HIV outcomes (engagement and retention in care and HIV viral suppression) using multivariable analysis.

Background: Most existing studies focus on either the relationship between sarcopenia and depressive symptoms or sarcopenia and cognitive functions. Few studies have examined depressive symptoms and cognitive functions simultaneously. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between sarcopenia and both depressive symptoms and cognitive functions in the elderly by introducing activities of daily living to explore the mediating role of activities of daily living between sarcopenia and mental health.

In low- and middle-income countries, fewer than 1 in 10 people with mental health conditions are estimated to be accurately diagnosed in primary care. This is despite more than 90 countries providing mental health training for primary healthcare workers in the past two decades. The lack of accurate diagnoses is a major bottleneck to reducing the global mental health treatment gap.
