Association of comprehensive mental health with incident cardiovascular disease : A prospective cohort study
(2022) In Journal of Affective Disorders 298. p.388-395- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Evidence is limited regarding the impact of comprehensive mental health on the risk of subsequent cardiovascular events.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association of mental health status with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the UK Biobank.
METHODS: This prospective study included 339,616 participants aged 40 to 69 years who were enrolled between 2006 and 2010 and were followed up to 2020, without CVD at baseline. A mental health score was created using information about depressive symptoms, anxiety, loneliness, and neuroticism. Cardiovascular disease events ascertained through hospital inpatient. Cox models were used to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals across mental health... (More)
BACKGROUND: Evidence is limited regarding the impact of comprehensive mental health on the risk of subsequent cardiovascular events.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association of mental health status with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the UK Biobank.
METHODS: This prospective study included 339,616 participants aged 40 to 69 years who were enrolled between 2006 and 2010 and were followed up to 2020, without CVD at baseline. A mental health score was created using information about depressive symptoms, anxiety, loneliness, and neuroticism. Cardiovascular disease events ascertained through hospital inpatient. Cox models were used to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals across mental health score.
RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 11.3 years (3.7 million person-years), we documented 22,688 CVD cases including 18,460 CHD cases and 5,070 stroke cases (some individuals were diagnosed as having both CHD and stroke). A statistically significantly increased risk of incident CVD was observed for the four mental factors individually, with adjusted hazard ratios ranging from 1.03 to 1.44. The composite score of such four mental factors was also positively associated with CVD risk in a dose-response manner, with the highest scores associated with a 1.56-fold (95% confidence interval 1.47 to 1.65), 1.61-fold (1.51 to 1.72), and 1.44-fold (1.25 to 1.67) higher CVD, CHD, and stroke risk, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: In this large prospective study, poor mental health status was associated with an increased risk of CVD. Our results highlight the importance to jointly investigate the mental health factors in relation to the risk of CVD.
