Epidemiology of Type 2 Diabetes
• Non-insulin dependent diabetes
• 90-95% of all diagnosed cases
• 21 million adults (10%) have T2DM– Average age of onset: > 40 years– Typically overweight or obese– Higher Prevalence in non-white minorities– Roughly equal by sex

Pathogenesis of Type 2 Diabetes
Defective Insulin Secretion
Blunted insulin secretion
Insulin Resistance
Glucose can’t get to cells in the body
Impaired glucose tolerance
Insulin Secretion
Glucose enters the bloodstream
Glucose builds up in blood stream
Type 2 Diabetes
Impaired fasting glucose

Depression and Diabetes
![Page 10: Can Depression Cause Diabetes?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/568140e7550346895dacb50f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
• Combination of somatic and mood symptoms– Symptoms persist for at least 2 weeks– Mood represents a change from person’s normal
mood– Not due to bereavement
• Diagnosed by a structured clinical interview• Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS)• Structured Clinical Interview for Depression (SCID)
Adapted from: DSM-IV

Depression and Diabetes
• Persons with diabetes up to three times more likely to suffer depression– Rate varies based on self-reported
symptoms or diagnosed major depressive disorder

Depression and Diabetes: Mechanisms
• Cross-sectional– Common neuroendocrine basis underlying both
disorders– Depression and diabetes share somatic
symptoms (e.g., fatigue)
• Temporal– Stress of coping with diabetes leads to
symptoms of depression– Depression leads to physiologic or behavioral
changes that lead to diabetes
![Page 15: Can Depression Cause Diabetes?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/568140e7550346895dacb50f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Shared Symptoms of Diabetes and Depression
• DSM-IV excludes illness as criteria for defining major depressive disorder– Mood disorder due to a general medical
condition– Diabetes and depression share symptoms (e.g.,
decreased energy, weight changes)
“A prominent and persistent disturbance in mood that is judged to be due to the direct physiological effects of a general medical condition”
![Page 20: Can Depression Cause Diabetes?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/568140e7550346895dacb50f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Plausibility of Diabetes leading to Depression
• Evidence suggests that it is the burden of treatment leading to depression– Inconsistent with the definition of MDD
• Average ages for developing both conditions not consistent with a causal model
• More longitudinal observational studies needed

Role of Covariates Mediating the Relationship between Depression and Diabetes
• What percent of the association between depressive symptoms and diabetes is attributable to a behavioral characteristic(s) or physiologic factor?
• Percent of excess risk explained by the addition of covariates to the model
– % Excess Risk = (RR1 – RR2)/(RR1 – 1)• RR1 = Unadjusted or minimally adjusted relative risk • RR2 = Relative risk adjusted for covariates of interest

Summary of Previous Findings: Depression and Incident Diabetes
• Depression consistently associated with the development of diabetes
• Traditional risk factors (e.g., BMI, physical activity) for diabetes mediate the association
• Few studies investigating physiological factors mediating the association
• Evidence of heterogeneity of effect by socio-demographic characteristics
![Page 33: Can Depression Cause Diabetes?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/568140e7550346895dacb50f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Summary Conclusions about Temporal Relationship
• Weight of evidence suggests that depression precedes the onset of diabetes– Important in middle-aged and elderly– Present in men and women– Effect may be restricted to population
subgroups with fewer socioeconomic resources
• Both behavioral and mechanistic pathways could explain the association
![Page 34: Can Depression Cause Diabetes?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/568140e7550346895dacb50f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Future Research Needed
• Longitudinal evaluation of development of depressive symptoms in type 2 diabetes
• Rigorous definitions of depressive symptoms and diabetes
• Studies investigating biological mechanisms mediating assoc between depression and incident diabetes
• Experimental trials to treat depression and evaluate risk of diabetes development
![Page 35: Can Depression Cause Diabetes?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/568140e7550346895dacb50f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Clinical Implications: Emphasis on Health Behaviors
• Move attention away from pharmacologic intervention and towards health behaviors– What pill has positive effects on mood, body
weight, sleep quantity and quality, lowers blood pressure, lipids, blood glucose, the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, improves functional ability, overall quality of life, arthritis, and extends life?
– Evidence for the exercise prescription!

Public Health Implications
• Large population at risk for the joint comorbidities of depression and diabetes– Prevalence of diabetes is rising with obesity
epidemic– Large proportion of undiagnosed depression
• Suggests a need for cross-screening in persons with depression or diabetes– May be particularly important in at-risk
subgroups
