To explore the association between multimorbidity patterns and new-onset depressive symptoms in a community population in Sichuan.
Based on the follow-up data of a Southwest cohort, multimorbidity patterns were identified among 16 long-term diseases using latent class analysis. Logistic regression model was used to investigate the associations of multimorbidity status, number of multimorbidity, and specific multimorbidity patterns with new-onset depressive symptoms. Differences in these associations within subgroups of age, sex, frequency of alcohol consumption, smoking status, and level of green space were compared by stratified analyses.
Multimorbidity status and number of multimorbidity were significantly associated with the risk of new-onset depressive symptoms with OR values of 1.46 (95% CI: 1.13-1.88) and 1.19 (1.09-1.29), respectively. Compared with hypertension multimorbidity pattern, hyperlipidemia multimorbidity and metabolic-skeletal multimorbidity were associated with the risk of depression onset with OR values of 1.69 (95% CI: 1.01-2.61) and 2.90 (95% CI: 1.47-5.71).
Multimorbidity can increase the risk of depression, and metabolic-skeletal multimorbidity has a higher risk of depression compared to hyperlipidemic multimorbidity.
