Prevalence (%) of Depressive Symptoms (CES-D8 ≥3), and Odds Ratios (OR) for Depressive Symptoms Predicted by Each Chronic Condition While Adjusting for Age and Sex
| Chronic disease | Prevalence of depressive symptoms | Prediction of depressive symptoms |
|---|---|---|
| No. (%)a | OR b (95% CI)c | |
| COPD | 701 (40.4) | 2.71 (2.39, 3.07) |
| Stroke | 459 (35.9) | 2.13 (1.86, 2.45) |
| Diabetes | 959 (31.2) | 1.87 (1.68, 2.07) |
| Coronary heart disease | 1,271 (30.7) | 1.96 (1.78, 2.15) |
| Arthritis | 2,742 (27.0) | 2.00 (1.81, 2.20) |
| Cancer | 593 (26.0) | 1.26 (1.13, 1.42) |
| Congestive heart failure | 257 (43.7) | 2.85 (2.29, 3.54) |
| Hypertension | 2,593 (25.6) | 1.57 (1.43, 1.72) |
aBoth counts and percentages are based upon weighted imputed values
bOR is based on a series of weighted multiple logistic regression models of depressive symptoms predicted by each chronic condition while adjusting for age and sex. The reference category is the all subjects without the chronic disease of mention
cCIs are unadjusted for multiple comparisons
