Depression can increase the risk of diabetes-related complications, healthcare expenditures, and morbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There have been increasing cases of diabetes in Saudi Arabia; however, research correlating depression with diabetes is lacking. The aim of this study was to find out how common depression is among T2DM patients at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, and assess any additional risk factors for depression in these patients.
A cross-sectional study using computer-assisted telephone interviews was conducted among patients with T2DM from June to August 2021. A total of 215 participants completed the survey. Symptoms and signs of depression were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate statistical analyses were used to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with depression.
Depression was shown to be prevalent in 54% of type 2 diabetes patients, with the most common associated risk factors being not exercising (p=0.00) and having at least one diabetes-related complication (p=0.001). There was no evidence of a significant relationship between depression and gender or age, although females were, in general, more depressed than males.
Diabetic patients have a significantly high prevalence of depression; therefore, it is vital to conduct regular screening for depression in patients diagnosed with T2DM.
抑郁症会增加2型糖尿病（T2DM）患者发生糖尿病相关并发症、医疗费用以及发病率的风险。沙特阿拉伯的糖尿病病例一直在增加；然而，缺乏将抑郁症与糖尿病相关联的研究。本研究的目的是了解吉达阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学医院（KAUH）的T2DM患者中抑郁症的普遍程度，并评估这些患者抑郁症的任何其他风险因素。
2021年6月至8月，对T2DM患者进行了一项采用计算机辅助电话访谈的横断面研究。共有215名参与者完成了调查。使用患者健康问卷（PHQ - 9）评估抑郁症的症状和体征。采用单变量、双变量和多变量统计分析来确定抑郁症的患病率和相关风险因素。
54%的2型糖尿病患者存在抑郁症，最常见的相关风险因素是不运动（p = 0.00）和患有至少一种糖尿病相关并发症（p = 0.001）。抑郁症与性别或年龄之间没有显著关系的证据，尽管总体上女性比男性更易抑郁。
糖尿病患者抑郁症的患病率显著较高；因此，对诊断为T2DM的患者进行定期抑郁症筛查至关重要。
