Title

Systematic metabolic characterization of mental disorders reveals age-related metabolic disturbances as potential risk factors for depression in older adults

Overall design

The aim of this study was to reveal the metabolic risk factors for anxiety, depression, and comorbid anxiety-depressive disorder in older adults. Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15) and General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD) were used to rate depression and anxiety symptoms. A total of 248 participants, including 41 individuals with comorbid anxiety and depression (anxiety and depression group; GAD score > 5 and GDS score > 5), 52 persons with depression (depression group; only GDS score > 5), 55 cases with anxiety (anxiety group; only GAD score > 5), and 100 control participants (control group; GDS score and GAD score are less than 1) were included. Metabolomics and lipidomics analyses were performed to profile the plasma metabolome associated with anxiety, depression, and comorbid anxiety-depressive disorder.
