Outline
To explore the impact of hypertension diagnosis and measured blood pressure on depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older adults, providing evidences for depression prevention in this population.
Data from four waves (2013-2020) of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were analyzed, including a total of 4 106 participants aged 45 and older. A linear mixed-effects model was used to examine the effect of hypertension on depressive symptoms.
In the univariate analysis, compared to respondents who with undiagnosed hypertension (32.64%), those diagnosed with hypertension showed a higher proportion of depressive symptoms (33.51%). After adjusting for covariates in the multivariate analysis, diagnosed hypertension (OR=1.05, P=0.003) remained associated with a higher risk of depression. However, elevated blood pressure without diagnosis did not have a significant effect on depressive symptoms (OR=0.99, P=0.454).
Hypertension diagnosis is associated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms among middle-aged and elderly individuals. Therefore, clinicians are advised to monitor not only blood pressure control in hypertensive patients but also their mental health, providing psychological support to prevent emotional issues that may arise from the diagnosis, thus enhancing patients’ quality of life.
