Markers of metabolic syndrome were associated with an increased risk for the three common mental health disorders up to 20 years later, results of a large longitudinal study showed.
New research adds to the growing evidence that metabolic health affects the brain and can adversely affect mental health.
The findings stem from longitudinal data on 211,200 adults enrolled in the Apolipoprotein-Related Mortality Risk cohort. Compared with low or normal levels, high levels of glucose and triglycerides were associated with a higher risk for depression, anxiety, or stress-related disorders, whereas high levels of HDL were associated with reduced risk.
Compared with controls, patients with depression, anxiety, or stress-related disorders had consistently higher levels of glucose, triglycerides, and total cholesterol during the two decades preceding diagnosis, as well as higher levels of apolipoprotein A-I and apolipoprotein B during the 10 years preceding diagnosis., Christopher M.
