London: One study suggests that depression may play a direct role in type 2 diabetes.
In past studies, it has been determined that people with diabetes are twice as likely to suffer from depression as compared to people without diabetes. The risks of getting infected are high.
However, new research from a UK charity has identified seven genes that play a role in both type 2 diabetes and depression.
Experts hailed the findings as important and urged health officials to consider depression as a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, along with obesity, lethargy and heredity.
This study is the first to observe that depression directly increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. In contrast, diabetes does not cause depression.
The study also revealed that only 36.5 percent of the effect of depression on type 2 diabetes could be explained by obesity. People with obesity were more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those with moderate weight. There are obviously more.
According to the researchers, seven genes have been identified as playing a role in insulin secretion or inflammation in the brain, liver or adipose tissue, and changes in these biological functions may explain the increased risk of depression and type 2 diabetes. are
On the contrary, the researchers also stated that the direct cause of depression as a result of diabetes has not been revealed.
