Depression Risk in Type 1 Versus Type 2 Diabetes: Cross‐Sectional Analysis of Body Mass Index ( <scp>BMI</scp> ) in a Nationally Diverse Cohort
Compared with DM2, both DM1 and non-diabetic groups show higher adjusted odds of MDD. BMI is independently related to MDD but only modestly-and partly suppressively-accounts for the non-diabetic vs. DM2 contrast. Findings support subgroup-aware screening and the need for longitudinal data to clarify mechanisms.
