Résumé : |
Background: The prevalence of cancer has been rising globally. Cancer can cause a significant burden for individuals, their caregivers and health care systems. However, less is known about the impact of a new cancer diagnosis on mental health and its association with age from fifty and above, where cancer is most prevalent.
Methods: Data across three wave pairs on 66,717 individuals from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) were used to analyse the association between having a new cancer diagnosis in one survey wave compared to the preceding wave and likelihood of depression as defined by the survey instrument. Logistic Regression was the model of choice, and the regressions were adjusted for sex, age, education code, depression category in the previous wave and country. Results: A new cancer diagnosis increased likelihood of being in the depression category (unadjusted OR 1.9 (1.43, 2.52) in wave pair 1-2, OR 2.15, CI (1.8, 2.6) in wave pair 4-5 and OR 1.92, CI (1.6, 2.3) in wave pair 5-6). The effect was stronger in the final adjusted model (OR 6.3 (2.5, 16.0) in wave pair 1-2. OR 3.6 (2.1, 6.2) in wave pair 4-5 and OR 2.6 (1.5, 4.5) in wave pair 5- 6). More education decreased likelihood of being in the depression category relative to less, with the benefits increasing up to upper secondary education. Increasing age was associated with a higher likelihood of depression. However, an interaction with older age and new diagnosis showed being older at time of cancer diagnosis seemed to attenuate some of its negative impact on mental health. Female sex was associated with a higher likelihood of depression. Conclusion: Our results indicate that new cancer diagnosis is associated with an increased likelihood of depression. They add to the evidence base on cancer and mental health, which can be used to help better account for address the psycho-social needs of patients with a new cancer diagnosis, particularly at the population level. |
