Objectives Cumulative burden of vascular risk factors (VRFs) has been linked to an increased risk of depressed mood. However, the role of age in this association is still unclear. Here, we investigated whether VRF burden is associated with levels and changes in depressed mood and whether these associations become stronger or weaker from mid- to later life. Method We used longitudinal data from 5,689 participants (52–89 years) of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. A composite score incorporated the presence of 5 VRFs: hypertension, diabetes, smoking, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia. Second-order latent growth models were used to test whether levels and changes of depressed mood differed as a function of baseline VRF burden, and whether these associations were moderated by age. Results Baseline VRF burden showed a small association with higher levels of depressed mood (estimate = 0.081; 95% CI: 0.024, 0.138, p = .005). This association varied with age, such that it was stronger in midlife compared to later life (estimate = −0.007; 95% CI: −0.013, −0.002, p = .017). There was no evidence that VRF burden was associated with changes in depressed mood. Discussion Our findings suggest that VRF burden in midlife, but less so in later life, predicts individual differences in depressed mood. These findings are consistent with reports on the importance of midlife VRFs and support the idea that promotion of vascular health in this age group or earlier in life may be critical to maintain mental health across adulthood.

血管危险因素与抑郁情绪之间的年龄依赖性关联

目的 血管危险因素 (VRF) 的累积负担与抑郁情绪的风险增加有关。然而,年龄在这种关联中的作用仍不清楚。在这里,我们调查了 VRF 负担是否与抑郁情绪的水平和变化有关,以及这些关联在中年到晚年是否变得更强或更弱。方法 我们使用了来自英国老龄化纵向研究的 5,689 名参与者(52-89 岁)的纵向数据。综合评分包含 5 个 VRF:高血压、糖尿病、吸烟、肥胖和高胆固醇血症。二阶潜伏生长模型用于测试抑郁情绪的水平和变化是否随基线 VRF 负担而变化,以及这些关联是否受年龄影响。结果 基线 VRF 负担与较高水平的抑郁情绪存在小关联(估计值 = 0.081;95% CI:0.024, 0.138, p = .005)。这种关联随年龄而变化,因此与晚年相比,它在中年时更强(估计 = -0.007;95% CI:-0.013,-0.002,p = .017)。没有证据表明 VRF 负担与抑郁情绪的变化有关。讨论 我们的研究结果表明,中年的 VRF 负担预测抑郁情绪的个体差异,但在晚年较少。这些发现与关于中年 VRF 重要性的报告一致,并支持这样一种观点,即在这个年龄组或生命早期促进血管健康可能对维持整个成年期的心理健康至关重要。因此,与晚年相比,它在中年时更强(估计 = -0.007;95% CI:-0.013,-0.002,p = .017)。没有证据表明 VRF 负担与抑郁情绪的变化有关。讨论 我们的研究结果表明,中年的 VRF 负担预测抑郁情绪的个体差异,但在晚年较少。这些发现与关于中年 VRF 重要性的报告一致,并支持这样一种观点,即在这个年龄组或生命早期促进血管健康可能对维持整个成年期的心理健康至关重要。因此,与晚年相比,它在中年时更强(估计 = -0.007;95% CI:-0.013,-0.002,p = .017)。没有证据表明 VRF 负担与抑郁情绪的变化有关。讨论 我们的研究结果表明,中年的 VRF 负担预测抑郁情绪的个体差异,但在晚年较少。这些发现与关于中年 VRF 重要性的报告一致,并支持这样一种观点,即在这个年龄组或生命早期促进血管健康可能对维持整个成年期的心理健康至关重要。预测抑郁情绪的个体差异。这些发现与关于中年 VRF 重要性的报告一致,并支持这样一种观点,即在这个年龄组或生命早期促进血管健康可能对维持整个成年期的心理健康至关重要。预测抑郁情绪的个体差异。这些发现与关于中年 VRF 重要性的报告一致,并支持这样一种观点,即在这个年龄组或生命早期促进血管健康可能对维持整个成年期的心理健康至关重要。
