Mediating role of accelerated aging in the association between depression and mortality risk: findings from NHANES
Depression is associated with accelerated aging and contributes to increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Accelerated aging partially mediates the association between major depression and mortality risk. Our findings highlight the urgent need to incorporate mental health care into public health strategies to delay population aging and reduce mortality risk.
