Abstract
AIMS: Social determinants of health (SDHs) exert a significant influence on various health outcomes and disparities. This study aimed to explore the associations between combined SDHs and mortality, as well as adverse health outcomes among adults with depression.</p>
METHODS: The research included 48,897 participants with depression from the UK Biobank and 7,771 from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). By calculating combined SDH scores based on 14 SDHs in the UK Biobank and 9 in the US NHANES, participants were categorized into favourable, medium and unfavourable SDH groups through tertiles. Cox regression models were used to evaluate the impact of combined SDHs on mortality (all-cause, cardiovascular disease [CVD] and cancer) in both cohorts, as well as incidences of CVD, cancer and dementia in the UK Biobank.</p>
RESULTS: In the fully adjusted models, compared to the favourable SDH group, the hazard ratios for all-cause mortality were 1.81 (95% CI: 1.60-2.04) in the unfavourable SDH group in the UK Biobank cohort; 1.61 (95% CI: 1.31-1.98) in the medium SDH group and 2.19 (95% CI: 1.78-2.68) in the unfavourable SDH group in the US NHANES cohort. Moreover, higher levels of unfavourable SDHs were associated with increased mortality risk from CVD and cancer. Regarding disease incidence, they were significantly linked to higher incidences of CVD and dementia but not cancer in the UK Biobank.</p>
CONCLUSIONS: Combined unfavourable SDHs were associated with elevated risks of mortality and adverse health outcomes among adults with depression, which suggested that assessing the combined impact of SDHs could serve as a key strategy in preventing and managing depression, ultimately helping to reduce the burden of disease.</p>
