Diabetes and depression were not associated in Venezuelan adults: The EVESCAM study, a national cross-sectional sample
Diabetes is a chronic complex disease with demanding management strategies that affects about 422 millions of adults worldwide in 2014 [1]. Diabetes has many complications and comorbidities [2], which interfere with daily life activities and shorten life expectancy [3]. Daily self-care requirements, in addition to the ambient social and environmental factors already existing, of adults with diabetes can impose a significant psychological burden on patients and their families [4]. This, in turn, engenders several types of psychological conditions that affect people with diabetes [5].
