Depression as a risk factor for incident ischemic stroke among HIV-positive veterans in the veterans aging cohort study.
Background HIV infection and depression are each associated with increased ischemic stroke risk. Whether depression is a risk factor for stroke within the HIV population is unknown. In this study the investigators examined depression as a risk factor for incident ischemic stroke among HIV-positive veterans in the veterans aging cohort study. The investigators concluded that depression is associated with an increased risk of stroke among HIV-positive people after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, traditional cerebrovascular risk factors, and HIV-specific factors.

Effects of concurrent depressive symptoms and perceived stress on cardiovascular risk in low- and high-income participants: findings from the Reasons for Geographical and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study.
Using data from the Reasons for Geographical and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study, the authors examined associations among depressive symptoms and stress, alone and in combination, and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality as a function of socioeconomic status. They found that screening for a combination of elevated depressive symptoms and stress in low-income persons may help identify those at increased risk of incident CVD and mortality.

Depressive symptoms are associated with incident coronary heart disease or revascularization among blacks but not among whites in the Reasons for Geographical and Racial Differences in Stroke study.
The authors examined the association of depressive symptoms with coronary heart disease (CHD) end points by race and income. They found that high depressive symptoms were associated with higher risk of CHD or revascularization for blacks but not whites.
