Bidirectional relationship between depression and activities of daily living and longitudinal mediation of cognitive function in patients with Parkinson’s disease by Yue Xu, Yue Xu, Durong Chen, Meiqi Dong, Yun Zhang, Yun Zhang, Hongmei Yu, Hongmei Yu, Hongmei Yu, Yanqing Han, Yanqing Han, Yanqing Han

“…Then, we explored the mediating role of cognitive function in the bidirectional relationship between depression and ADL in patients with PD, and the mediation effect test was carried out using a bias-corrected nonparametric percentile bootstrap approach.ResultsDepression in patients with PD predicted their subsequent ADL (β = 0.079, p < 0.01), and ADL also predicted their subsequent depression (β = 0.069, p < 0.05), In addition, Bootstrap analysis showed that cognitive function played a significant mediating role in prediction of depression to ADL in patients with PD (β = 0.006, p = 0.074, 95%CI = 0.001 ~ 0.014), and cognitive function also played a significant mediating role in prediction of depression to ADL (β = 0.006, p = 0.067, 95%CI = 0.001 ~ 0.013).ConclusionThere is a bidirectional relationship between depression and ADL in patients with PD. …”
