Our aim is to examine which risk factors have a greater impact in women than in men on the risk of major depressive disorder (MDD) and whether factors differ between a possible recurrent MDD and a first onset of MDD.
Prospective cohort study of general practice attendees in seven countries, who were followed up at 6 and 12 months (predictD). Absolute risk differences (interaction contrast) across sex for onset of DSM-IV MDD after 6 or 12 months of follow-up were estimated for 35 risk factors from 7101 participants without MDD at baseline.
A total of 599 participants (80% female) had an onset of MDD at 6 or 12 months. Most risk factors had a greater impact in women than in men on the risk of MDD and were not restricted to a specific class of risk factors. After we stratified for a history of depressive symptoms, we found that the impact of risk factors across sex was generally stronger on possible recurrent MDD than on a first onset of MDD.
Our findings may partly account for the observed difference in incidence of MDD between men and women.
我们旨在研究在女性中比男性对重度抑郁症(MDD)风险影响更大的风险因素有哪些,以及在可能的复发性 MDD 和首次发作 MDD 之间,这些因素是否存在差异。
这是一项在七个国家的普通科医生就诊者中进行的前瞻性队列研究,参与者在 6 个月和 12 个月时进行随访(predictD)。对来自 7101 名基线时无 MDD 的参与者的 35 个风险因素,在 6 个月或 12 个月的随访后出现 DSM-IV MDD 的发病情况,估计了跨性别(交互对比)的绝对风险差异。
共有 599 名参与者(80%为女性)在 6 或 12 个月时出现 MDD 发作。大多数风险因素对女性 MDD 风险的影响大于男性,而且不限于特定类别的风险因素。在我们对抑郁症状史进行分层后,我们发现跨性别的风险因素对可能的复发性 MDD 的影响通常比对首次发作 MDD 的影响更强。
我们的研究结果可能部分解释了男性和女性之间 MDD 发病率的差异。
