NYU Meyers Nursing Research Identifies Predictors of Depression Among Women with Diabetes
New York UniversityResearch shows adults with diabetes are disproportionately prone to depression and the risk to be significantly greater for women than it is for men. A NYU study establishes various depression predictors among adult women of diverse ages, races, and ethnicities. The results enable the targeting of especially vulnerable women for screening and depression treatment, recognizing that the female-specific characteristics are not the same as those combinations of characteristics identified in mixed populations with diabetes.
