Association between depression severity and poor glycemic control among Hispanics with diabetes

Bond In Investing Savings In a study of more than 200 Hispanics with diabetes, researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and College of Physicians and Surgeons found a significant association between depression severity and poor glycemic control (PGC). The findings also confirm that less than one-half of the diabetes patients with moderate or severe depression received mental health treatment in the previous year.

Vitamin D seems to dampen an overactive immune system. The incidence of autoimmune diseases like Type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis has been linked to low levels of vitamin D. A study published on Dec. 20, 2006, in The Journal of the American Medical Association examined the risk of developing multiple sclerosis among more than seven million military recruits followed for up to 12 years. Among whites, but not blacks or Hispanics, the risk of developing M.S. increased with ever lower levels of vitamin D in their blood serum before age 20.

"This held especially true among patients with moderate-severe depression, where likelihood for PGC was more than three-fold higher compared to patients without depression." No association was found between depression and PGC among the non-Hispanic diabetes patients.

James Bond Trading Card According to Dr. Gross, there is ample evidence that among the population, in general, depressive disorders are more prevalent among adults with diabetes. However, the relationship between depression and glycemic control in patients with diabetes is less obvious. Hispanics have high rates of diabetes and are more likely to have poor glycemic control. Diabetes ranks fifth among the leading causes of death in people of Hispanic origin. Earlier research has indicated that Hispanic patients are usually less likely to have regular sources of medical care, to undergo screening, to use preventive services, to be referred to a specialist, or to receive appropriate treatment.

Bond In Investing Stock Says Dr. Gross, "There are important clinical and public health implications to our finding. As rates of diabetes, especially among Hispanics, continue to increase, it is important for clinicians caring for patients with diabetes to be aware of the association between depression and PGC. Our findings suggest that identification and adequate treatment of depression in this understudied, high-risk population of Hispanic primary care patients might have favorable effects on diabetic outcomes."

6 Predict Type II Diabetes In a study published in the July 18, 2001 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, a group from the famous Women's Health Study was evaluated to ascertain what risk factors could predict future development of Type II diabetes (Pradhan et al. 2001). 6 ( 6) were significantly higher among those who subsequently developed diabetes compared to those who did not.
