Cardiovascular disease remains a major cause of morbidity and premature mortality worldwide. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk estimator with depression in women undergoing cardiological evaluation.
Three hundred women undergoing cardiological evaluation completed the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (ZSDS) questionnaire which included women's characteristics.
A percentage of 57.4% of our participants exhibited ASCVD risk <5%; while the 18.3% had ASCVD risk between 5% and 7.4%, the 18.3% between 7.5% and 20%, and the remaining 6% > 20%. In terms of depression, 50% of the women had a score of less than 38 (median), according to Zung scale and mean score was 38.4. In addition, 25% of women had a score below 32. These scores indicate low levels of depression in women. Statistically significant higher rates of depression were found in women who were not involved with physical activities (p = 0.030).
The negative impact of depression on the ASCVD risk could potentially be prevented by modifying individuals' behavior with regard to their engagement in physical activity.
心血管疾病仍是全球发病和过早死亡的主要原因。本研究的目的是调查接受心脏评估的女性中动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病（ASCVD）风险评估指标与抑郁症之间的关联。
300名接受心脏评估的女性完成了包含女性特征的zung自评抑郁量表（ZSDS）问卷。
57.4%的参与者ASCVD风险<5%；18.3%的人ASCVD风险在5%至7.4%之间，18.3%在7.5%至20%之间，其余6%>20%。在抑郁症方面，根据zung量表，50%的女性得分低于38（中位数），平均得分为38.4。此外，25%的女性得分低于32。这些分数表明女性的抑郁程度较低。未参与体育活动的女性中抑郁症发生率在统计学上显著更高（p = 0.030）。
通过改变个体参与体育活动的行为，可能预防抑郁症对ASCVD风险的负面影响。
