Objective: Only a few studies have focused on depressive symptoms and Parkinson's disease (PD) risk. As a time lag exists from the onset of depressive symptoms to the diagnosis of depression, elucidating the association between depressive symptoms and PD development might be helpful for the early prediction of PD. We investigate the association between depressive symptoms and subsequent PD risk using nationwide population-based cohort database.

Design And Setting: Cohort study using the Korean National Health Insurance Service data between 2007 and 2017, with longitudinal follow-up until 2019.

Participants: A total of 98,296 elderly people responded to a self-reported questionnaire from the National Health Screening Program on depressive symptoms.

Measurements: The association between depressive symptoms such as 1) decreased activity or motivation, 2) worthlessness, and 3) hopelessness and PD risk was analyzed.

Results: During median 5.06-year follow-up, 839 PD cases occurred: 230 in individuals with depressive symptoms and 609 in those without symptoms. Results showed an increased risk of PD development in those with depressive symptoms (HR = 1.47, 95% CI, 1.26-1.71), with dose-response association between the number of depressive symptoms and PD risk. Even in those already diagnosed with depression, combined depressive symptoms were linked to a higher risk compared to those without symptoms (with symptoms, HR = 2.71, 95% CI, 2.00-3.68; without symptoms, HR = 1.84, 95% CI, 1.43-2.36).

Conclusion: Individuals with depressive symptoms were at an increased risk of developing PD, and there was a dose-response association between the number of depressive symptoms and PD risk.

Background: Approximately 30% of patients with atrial fibrillation suffer from depression. Depression in patients with atrial fibrillation is associated with poor health outcomes, reduced health-related quality of life, and elevated societal costs. Preventing depression in this population may therefore lead to better health outcomes for the individual patient and reduced burden on society.

Objective: To study the heterogeneity and influencing factors of self-acceptance of drug addicts in compulsory isolation in 2 drug rehabilitation centers in Sichuan Province, and to analyze the effects of different types of self-acceptance on subthreshold depression in drug addicts, in order to provide useful references for improving their mental health.

Methods: Self-acceptance Questionnaire (SAQ), Drug use Stereotype Threat Scale(DSTS) and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CES-D) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey in January 2024 on 1068 drug addicts in two compulsory isolation drug rehabilitation centers in Sichuan Province.

Results: Drug addicts self-acceptance can be categorized into 5 potential categories; men were more likely than women to show lower self-acceptance in the 'low-low'(β = 0.

Depressive symptoms in older adults are associated with changes in stress-related markers, functional connectivity and brain volume.

Background: Subclinical depressive symptoms increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). The neurobiological mechanisms underlying this link may involve stress system dysfunction, notably related to the hippocampus which is particularly sensitive to AD. We aimed to investigate the links between blood stress markers and changes in brain regions involved in the stress response in older adults with or without subclinical depressive symptoms.

The European Commission's Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021-2030 aims to ensure equal opportunities and rights for all individuals, including those with intellectual disabilities. People with intellectual disabilities are often underrepresented in cancer prevention and screening policies, leading to disparities in health outcomes and early mortality. The intersection of intellectual disability, cancer, and depression represents an underexplored area in healthcare research.
