L-shaped association between fasting blood glucose and comorbid anxiety in Chinese patients with first-episode untreated major depressive disorder

Our results suggest an L-shaped non-linear association: Lower FBG correlates with elevated comorbid anxiety risk in Chinese Han first-episode untreated MDD patients, particularly when FBG is below 4.8 mmol/L.
