ABSTRACT
Cataracts and major depressive disorder (MDD) both have high prevalence, representing for major health burdens globally. In this study, we examined the risk of MDD due to cataracts. Data from the 2016 to 2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) were used, including 4122 participants. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the odds ratio for MDD in association with cataracts. Controlled variables were age, gender, smoking, dyslipidemia and mobility. Subgroup analysis was performed with stratification by gender. The results reveal that cataracts are significantly correlated with MDD. Elderly people with cataracts were found to be more likely to develop MDD compared to those without cataracts (adjusted odds ratio 1.654; 95% CI = 1.197-2.286). In subgroup analysis, men (adjusted odds ratio 2.631; 95% CI = 1.247-5.551) were found to be more likely to develop MDD than women (adjusted odds ratio 1.510; 95% CI = 1.061-2.150). Cataracts may be a risk factor for MDD in the elderly, especially among the male population.
