To evaluate whether late-life depression mediates the association of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) with all-cause mortality.
Using data from 3,473 Cardiovascular Health Study participants, the Cox proportional hazards model was used to examine the direct and indirect (via late-life depression) effects of the association between baseline subclinical CVD and all-cause mortality with weights derived from multivariable logistic regression of late-life depression on subclinical CVD.
Subclinical CVD led to a higher risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.51, 95% confidence interval, [CI] = [1.42, 1.94]). Total effect of subclinical CVD on all-cause mortality was decomposed into direct (HR = 1.41, 95% CI = [1.37, 1.58]) and indirect (HR = 1.07, 95% CI = [1.01, 1.23]) effects; 16.3% of the total effect of subclinical CVD on all-cause mortality was mediated by late-life depression.
Late-life depression accounts for little, if any, of the association between subclinical CVD, a risk factor of all-cause mortality, and all-cause mortality.
评估老年期抑郁是否在亚临床心血管疾病(CVD)与全因死亡率之间的关联中起中介作用。
使用来自 3473 名心血管健康研究参与者的数据,Cox 比例风险模型用于检查亚临床 CVD 与全因死亡率之间的关联的直接和间接(通过老年期抑郁)效应,其中亚临床 CVD 的权重来自老年期抑郁对亚临床 CVD 的多变量逻辑回归。
亚临床 CVD 导致全因死亡率的风险增加(危险比 [HR] = 1.51,95%置信区间,[CI] = [1.42,1.94])。亚临床 CVD 对全因死亡率的总效应被分解为直接(HR = 1.41,95%CI = [1.37,1.58])和间接(HR = 1.07,95%CI = [1.01,1.23])效应;亚临床 CVD 对全因死亡率的总效应有 16.3%是由老年期抑郁介导的。
老年期抑郁在亚临床 CVD(全因死亡率的一个危险因素)与全因死亡率之间的关联中几乎没有起到任何作用。
