The change in average mental health scores over time in subgroups of metabolic diseases. The interaction plots show the change in average PHQ-9, GAD-7, and AUDIT scores (y-axis) across baseline and follow-up timepoints (x-axis) within each comorbidity subgroups. Beta coefficients, indicating the slope between the average mental health scores at the specified timepoints, and P-values for these associations (P for interaction) are presented as indicators of statistical significance in each subgroup. Models were adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol consumption, prevalent hypertension, diabetes, hemoglobin, serum glucose, and creatinine-based eGFR at baseline. PHQ-9, Patient Health Questionnaire-9; GAD-7, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7; AUDIT, Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test.
