Estimates of biological interaction between anxiety and depression symptoms and their effects on glycaemic control in participants with T2DM

Measures of biological interactionEstimate (95% CI)
RERI4.93 (2.09 to 7.87)
AP0.27 (0.12 to 0.45)
S1.41 (1.22 to 1.66)
  • Reference group: anxiety symptom score <50 and depressive symptom score <50. Models were adjusted for age, sex, education level, marital status, exercise, income, BMI, disease duration, comorbidity, complications, smoking, drinking, insulin use and poor sleep quality.

  • AP, attributable proportion due to interaction; BMI, body mass index; RERI, relative excess risk due to interaction; S, synergy index; T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus.
