“…Similarly, a distinct presentation of the metabolic syndrome, a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors, among Hispanics has been identified and is characterized by a high prevalence of abdominal obesity and dyslipidemia, with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels being particularly prevalent in women and hypertriglyceridemia being particularly prevalent in men (Chirinos, Goldberg, et al, 2013). Finally, cultural factors, such as familism, relatedness or acculturation, are likely to be strong determinants of depression in this population (Walter & Thomas, 2009;Zayas et al, 2009). In spite of these reasons and a potential distinction in the presentation of both atherosclerosis and depression among Hispanics, data on this association are still scarce, particularly among South American Hispanics.…”

et al. 2014

This study aimed to: (1) examine the relationship between depressive symptoms and subclinical atherosclerosis, measured by carotid intima-media thickness (IMT); and, (2) Determine the moderating effect of gender in this relationship among South American Hispanics. We studied 496 adults enrolled in the population-based PREVENCION study. Carotid IMT was measured with high-resolution ultrasonography. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Mean carotid IMT was 0.66 mm. (SD = 0.17) and mean depression score was 5.6 (SD = 3.5). Depressive symptoms were not associated with carotid IMT (β = 0.04, p = 0.222) in multivariate analyses. A significant moderating effect of gender was found (β for interaction = 0.10, p = 0.030), resulting from a significant association between depressive symptoms and carotid IMT in men but not women. Depressive symptoms were associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in South American Hispanic men but not women after controlling for demographic characteristics and traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
