Depression and the metabolic syndrome in young adults: findings from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Psychosom Med. 2004 May-Jun; (3): 316-22
Previous reports have suggested that depression may lead to the development of cardiovascular disease through its association with the metabolic syndrome; however, little is known about the relationship between depression and the metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to establish an association between depression and the metabolic syndrome in a nationally representative sample.
