Researchers analyzed data from more than 211,000 people and found that higher blood sugar and triglyceride levels were associated with an increased risk for these mental illnesses 20 years before diagnosis.
Higher blood sugar and triglyceride levels have been associated with an increased risk of depression, anxiety and stress-related disorders.
Higher levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL) have been associated with a lower risk of depression, anxiety and stress-related disorders.
The study, published recently in JAMA Network OpenTrusted Source, examined several biomarkers and how they were associated with participants’ risk of depression, anxiety and stress-related disorders.
The finding suggests that monitoring blood sugar, triglycerides and HDL cholesterol can help identify people at increased risk of mental illness.
Interventions aimed at reducing blood sugar and triglycerides can help prevent mental illness.
However, the study does not prove that blood sugar and triglycerides cause mental illness. More research is needed to confirm these findings and to better understand the relationship between metabolic factors and mental illness, says Medical News Today.
