ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT CLUSTERS OF THE METABOLIC SYNDROME ON THE EXPRESSION OF DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS

The purpose of the study. To study the influence of various metabolic syndrome clusters on the severity of depressive disorders according to the CES-D scale. Materials and methods. 136 male patients were examined, including 60 with metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed based on the criteria of clinical recommendations of the All-Russian Scientific Society of Cardiology in 2009. The severity of depression was assessed using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale - CES-D. Results. It was found that among the surveyed men with metabolic syndrome, depressive disorders of varying severity on the CES-D scale were found in 40% of the surveyed, while among men with MS, the number of people with severe depression on the CES-D scale was higher. Among persons with a four-component metabolic syndrome cluster, patients with severe depression were more common (57,1%). In men with depression on the CES-D scale of varying severity, a three-component cluster of metabolic syndromes was more common, consisting of abdominal obesity, arterial hypertension, and an elevated level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Conclusion. The combination of abdominal obesity, arterial hypertension, and lipid disorders characterized by high levels of low-density lipoprotein was the most common metabolic syndrome cluster among men with depressive disorders of varying severity on the CES-D scale.
