Study links depression and anxiety to heart disease via inflammation
Original: Mediating effect of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the association between depression, anxiety, and cardiometabolic disorders in a multiethnic US population
A new study published in Nature examines a multiethnic US population and finds that pro-inflammatory cytokines may mediate the association between depression, anxiety, and cardiometabolic disorders such as heart disease and diabetes. The findings suggest inflammation could be a biological pathway explaining why mental health conditions raise the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular illness across diverse ethnic groups.
Why now: Fresh research offering a biological explanation for the well-known link between mental health and cardiometabolic disease is drawing scientific and public attention.
