The same group of women was significantly more likely to have minor depression, compared with those who were not depressed, if they had less than a high school education or asthma or if they smoked, reported Nan Guo, PhD, and her associates at Stanford (Calif.) University.
The adjusted relative risk for major depression was a significant 2.49 for women if they had government, state, or military insurance, compared with the reference group – those who had private insurance. Women with no insurance had an adjusted RR of 1.84, which did not reach statistical significance, they said.
