Abstract

Objectives. We aim to elucidate the role of health behaviors and health conditions in the association between depression and mortality. First, we examine the relationship between major depression and nonsuicide mortality among U.S. adults aged 50 and older. Second, we examine the relationship between major depression and cardiovascular disease and cancer, by baseline disease status. Third, we examine the role of health behaviors as potential mediators of the association between major depression and cause-specific mortality.
