Is depression a risk factor for heart complaints?
This study suggests that major depression is a predictor for heart complaints at the age of 40 and that the severity of depressive disorder in younger age has an effect on subsequent heart complaints. Follow-up data will help to elucidate whether these subjective heart complaints show any correlation with a later coronary heart disease.
We studied 278 probands with young-onset MSS CRC. We determined that the RR for CRC was greatest in siblings, which is consistent with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
