The study objective was to examine the prevalence of depressive symptoms and relationships to quality of life and demographics in the Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study's large, ethnically diverse youth with type 2 diabetes.
A total of 704 youth with type 2 diabetes <2 years' duration, aged 10-17 years, and BMI ≥85th percentile completed depressive symptoms and quality of life measures.
Some 14.8% reported clinically significant depressive symptoms, and older girls had significantly higher rates than older boys.
Rates of significant depressive symptoms were similar to those of healthy adolescents and lower than those of teens with type 1 diabetes. Elevated depressive symptoms, particularly in older girls, suggest clinicians assess vulnerability.
本研究旨在探讨在 2 型糖尿病青少年及青年治疗选择(TODAY)研究中,大量种族多样化的 2 型糖尿病青年中,抑郁症状的流行情况及其与生活质量和人口统计学因素的关系。
共有 704 名患病时间<2 年、年龄 10-17 岁、BMI≥第 85 百分位数的 2 型糖尿病青年完成了抑郁症状和生活质量的评估。
约 14.8%的患者报告存在临床显著的抑郁症状,且年龄较大的女孩比年龄较大的男孩报告的发生率更高。
显著抑郁症状的发生率与健康青少年相似,低于 1 型糖尿病青少年。抑郁症状的升高,特别是在年龄较大的女孩中,提示临床医生评估其易感性。
