Depression has been linked to greater mortality and morbidity in diabetic patients, but this issue has not been adequately studied in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This cross-sectional study described the prevalence of depression in patients attending a diabetes clinic in Urmia and determined the associated sociodemographic, behavioural and clinical factors. Of 295 patients, 128 (43.4%) had depression scores (> or = 15) on the Beck Depression Inventory. The mean score for all patients was 15.4 (SD 9.5). Those with depression were significantly older and less educated than those without depression, had a longer duration of diabetes and were more likely to suffer complications. On logistic regression analysis, older age was the only variable significantly associated with depression.
在伊朗伊斯兰共和国，抑郁与糖尿病患者的死亡率和发病率增加有关，但这一问题尚未得到充分研究。本横断面研究描述了乌尔米亚糖尿病诊所就诊患者的抑郁患病率，并确定了相关的社会人口学、行为和临床因素。在 295 名患者中，128 名（43.4%）贝克抑郁量表评分（>或=15）存在抑郁。所有患者的平均评分是 15.4（标准差 9.5）。与无抑郁的患者相比，有抑郁的患者年龄更大，受教育程度更低，糖尿病病程更长，且更易发生并发症。在逻辑回归分析中，年龄较大是唯一与抑郁显著相关的变量。
