Association Between Depressive Symptoms and Insulin Resistance and the Impact of the Menopausal Transition
Current reporting of CES-D score ≥16, but not prior reporting, was associated with elevated IR over time among midlife women. This study provides longitudinal evidence in support of IR as a temporary feature of depression. Moreover, the results suggest that Hispanic women with higher depressive symptoms may be particularly susceptible to IR.
