Zusammenfassung

Diabetes und Depression sind beides häufige Erkrankungen mit großer Bedeutung für die Betroffenen und das Gesundheitssystem. Eine Kombination der Erkrankungen führt darüber hinaus zu einer überproportional erhöhten Mortalität und Komorbidität. Erst seit Kurzem gibt es prospektive Studien zum Zusammenhang dieser beiden Erkrankungen. Hier konnte gezeigt werden, dass eine depressive Symptomatik ein deutlicher Risikofaktor für einen Typ-2-Diabetes ist, während bei Menschen mit einem Diabetes nur von einem leicht erhöhten Risiko für die Entwicklung einer Depression auszugehen ist. Allerdings steigt das Depressionsrisiko mit dem Auftreten von Folgeerkrankungen des Diabetes. Fazit: Typ-2-Diabetes und Depression sind miteinander assoziiert. Sowohl bei Menschen mit Depression als auch bei Menschen mit einem Diabetes sollte besonders auf Anzeichen der anderen Erkrankung geachtet werden.

Abstract

Diabetes and depression are both common diseases each having a significant impact on the individuals affected, as well as on the health care system. The combination of diabetes and depression leads to disproportionally high mortality and co-morbidity. Only recently, data on the association between diabetes and depression have been available from longitudinal studies. It could be shown that people suffering from depression have a distinctly higher risk of contracting diabetes, whereas the inverse risk is less pronounced. However, people suffering from diabetic complications are at higher risk. Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes and depression are associated. Patients with depression as well as patients with diabetes should be monitored for indications of the other disease.
