A study investigating how the albumin-globulin ratio relates to depression risk within U.S. adults: a cross-sectional analysis
Our findings indicate that elevated AGR levels correlate with a lower risk of depression. The findings suggest AGR as a potential biomarker for depression screening and prevention. Further studies are required to determine causality and clarify the mechanisms between AGR and depression.
