Bidirectional association between blood pressure and depressive symptoms in young and middle-age adults: A cohort study.

CONCLUSIONS: In this large cohort study of young and middle-aged individuals, higher BP levels were independently associated with a decreased risk for developing case-level depressive symptoms and depressive symptoms were also associated with incident hypertension. Further studies are required to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the bidirectional association between BP levels and incident depression. PMID: 32665058 [PubMed - in process]
