Razieh C, et al. – Researchers assessed South Asian and white European populations at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes for the prevalence and correlates of symptoms of depression and anxiety. Participants took part in two type 2 diabetes prevention trials in Leicestershire, UK, and were 1,429 white European people (age 64±7 years, 35.8% women) and 160 South Asian people (age 59±9 years, 30.6% women) at high risk of Type 2 diabetes. Data were collected at baseline, and at 12, 24 and 36 months. At baseline, 9.9% of white European men, 14.9% of white European women, 23.6% of South Asian men and 29.2% of South Asian women exceeded the cut-off score for mild-to-severe depression. South Asians continued to have higher depressive symptoms vs white European participants over the time of the study and after adjustments. South Asians also had higher levels of anxiety, though less so after adjustment. Correlates for depression in both populations were social deprivation, BMI, proximity to fast-food outlets, and physical activity.
