“…Although we adjusted for multiple confounders, residual confounding due to other chronic medical conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, or arthritis, which may be comorbid to depression 56 and which could lead to arterial stiffening, cannot be ruled out. Finally, the association between CVD markers and depression may differ according to race; [57][58][59][60] however, our study population consisted mainly of white people, therefore we could not investigate such effects.…”

“…Depressive symptoms predict chronic medical conditions (Assari et al, 2015) and all-cause (Assari et al, 2016a; Moazen-Zadeh and Assari, 2016) and cause-specific (Assari and Burgard, 2015) mortality among Whites but not Blacks. In another set of studies, depressive symptoms have failed to correlate with expected biological markers, such as inflammatory markers (Case, 2014; Stewart, 2016; Vrany et al, 2016). …”

Purpose: Although higher levels of depressive symptoms and lower levels of sense of mastery tend to be comorbid, limited information exists on racial differences in the longitudinal associations between the two over time. The current study compared Black and White American older adults for the longitudinal links between depressive symptoms and mastery in the United States.Methods: Using data from the Religion, Aging, and Health Survey, 2001–2004, this longitudinal cohort study followed 1493 Black (n = 734) and White (n = 759) elderly individuals (age 66 or more) for 3 years. Depressive symptoms [Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale (CES-D), 8 items] and mastery (Pearlin Mastery Scale, 7 items) were measured in 2001 and 2004. Demographics, socio-economics, and physical health were covariates and race was the focal moderator. Multi-group structural equation modeling was used for data analysis, where groups were defined based on race.Results: Among White but not Black older adults, higher levels of depressive symptoms at baseline predicted a greater decline in sense of mastery over 3 years of follow-up. Similarly among Whites but not Blacks, individuals with lower mastery at baseline developed more depressive symptoms over time.Conclusion: Findings are indicative of Black-White differences in reciprocal associations between depressive symptoms and mastery over time. Race alters how depression is linked to changes in evaluation of self (e.g., mastery) over time.

“…A large body of evidence has suggested stronger effects of depression on physical health outcomes for Whites than Blacks [14,15,16,17,18,19,20]. Depression, for example, increases the risk of chronic medical conditions [14,15] and all cause [15,16] and cause-specific [17] mortality among Whites, but not Blacks.…”

Purpose: Although the link between depression and lower levels of mastery is well established, limited information exists on ethnic and gender differences in the association between the two. The current study investigated ethnic, gender, and ethnic by gender differences in the link between major depressive disorder (MDD) and low mastery in the United States. Methods: We used data from the National Survey of American Life-Adolescent supplement (NSAL-A), 2003–2004. In total, 1170 Black adolescents entered the study. This number was composed of 810 African-American and 360 Caribbean Black youth (age 13 to 17). Demographic factors, socioeconomic status (family income), mastery (sense of control over life), and MDD (Composite International Diagnostic Interview, CIDI) were measured. Logistic regressions were used to test the association between mastery and MDD in the pooled sample, as well as based on ethnicity and gender. Results: In the pooled sample, a higher sense of mastery was associated with a lower risk of MDD. This association, however, was significant for African Americans but not Caribbean Blacks. Similarly, among African American males and females, higher mastery was associated with lower risk of MDD. Such association could not be found for Caribbean Black males or females. Conclusion: Findings indicate ethnic rather than gender differences in the association between depression and mastery among Black youth. Further research is needed to understand how cultural values and life experiences may alter the link between depression and mastery among ethnically diverse Black youth.
