Özet
Objectives: In order to ascertain the impact of diabetes and diabetic complications on the risk of depression in the Turkish population, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to investigate the frequency of depression in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (T1DM and T2DM) compared to controls (nondiabetic population). The influence of sociodemographic and other baseline characteristics on depression in DM Patients and controls was also investigated. Patients and Methods: A total of 500 consecutive diabetic outPatients and 90 healthy individuals (control group) completed the BDI test. Metabolic parameters, complications, and sociodemographic characteristics were also recorded. Results: T1DM patients had significantly higher BDI scores than T2DM Patients and controls (P < 0.001, for each) no significant difference was found between T2DM Patients and controls (P = 0.950). Following microvascular complications, the most frequently encountered complications were retinopathy and neuropathy in patients with T1DM (49.4%) and T2DM (50.1%), respectively. The rates of depression were found significantly higher in the group with diabetic complications compared to the group without diabetic complications. By linear regression analysis, significant predictors for depression were unmarried status, T1DM, younger age, and microvascular complications. Conclusion: These results provide strong evidence for an increase in the frequency of depression in diabetic patients with complications. © 2010 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
