Depression is an important public health burden, its risk of occurrence is associated with vitamin D deficiency and may also increase with age, while serum vitamin D levels are closely related to age.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether vitamin D and age are associated with depression after adjustment for each other.
We extracted data from NHANES 2013-2018, including demographic characteristics, depression level, vitamin D level, physical activity, and body measures. A total of 15,156 adults aged 20 years or older (mean age 49.81 ± 17.67 years, 7301 males and 7855 females) were included. Depression was screened by PHQ-9. Vitamin D deficiency was defined by a serum vitamin D level < 30nmol/L. We performed binary logistic regression models to analyze the association between vitamin D, age and depression, respectively.
Vitamin D levels were negatively associated with depression (P < 0.001). Vitamin D had a significant effect on depression (OR = 0.776, 95%CI: 0.682-0.884, P < 0.001), the effect remained significant after adjusted for confounding variables (OR = 0.761, 95%CI: 0.663-0.874, P < 0.001). Age was positively associated with depression (P < 0.001) and had a significant effect on depression (OR = 1.079, 98%CI: 1.032-1.128, P = 0.001), the effect remained significant after adjusted for confounding variables (OR = 1.092, 95%CI: 1.040-1.146, P < 0.001). Age and vitamin D levels were positively correlated (P < 0.001), and older age had a significant effect on vitamin D level (OR = 1.526, 95%CI: 1.416-1.645, P < 0.001), the effect remained significant after adjusted for confounding variables (OR = 1.371, 95%CI: 1.263-1.487, P < 0.001). In addition, the prevalence of depression was higher in females (2312/7855, 29.43%) than in males (1571/7301, 21.52%), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001).
Vitamin D deficiency and older age are both associated with higher risk of depression, while older age is a protective factor for vitamin D deficiency.
抑郁症是一个重要的公共卫生负担,其发病风险与维生素 D 缺乏有关,而且可能随着年龄的增长而增加,而血清维生素 D 水平与年龄密切相关。
本研究旨在评估维生素 D 和年龄是否在相互调整后与抑郁症相关。
我们从 NHANES 2013-2018 中提取数据,包括人口统计学特征、抑郁水平、维生素 D 水平、身体活动和身体测量。共纳入 15156 名 20 岁或以上的成年人(平均年龄 49.81±17.67 岁,男性 7301 名,女性 7855 名)。采用 PHQ-9 筛查抑郁症。维生素 D 缺乏定义为血清维生素 D 水平<30nmol/L。我们分别进行了二元逻辑回归模型来分析维生素 D、年龄与抑郁之间的关系。
维生素 D 水平与抑郁呈负相关(P<0.001)。维生素 D 对抑郁有显著影响(OR=0.776,95%CI:0.682-0.884,P<0.001),在调整混杂因素后仍有显著影响(OR=0.761,95%CI:0.663-0.874,P<0.001)。年龄与抑郁呈正相关(P<0.001),对抑郁有显著影响(OR=1.079,98%CI:1.032-1.128,P=0.001),在调整混杂因素后仍有显著影响(OR=1.092,95%CI:1.040-1.146,P<0.001)。年龄和维生素 D 水平呈正相关(P<0.001),年龄越大对维生素 D 水平的影响越显著(OR=1.526,95%CI:1.416-1.645,P<0.001),在调整混杂因素后仍有显著影响(OR=1.371,95%CI:1.263-1.487,P<0.001)。此外,女性(2312/7855,29.43%)的抑郁患病率高于男性(1571/7301,21.52%),差异具有统计学意义(P<0.001)。
维生素 D 缺乏和年龄较大均与较高的抑郁风险相关,而年龄较大是维生素 D 缺乏的保护因素。
