Abstract
Objective: To investigate the bidirectional relationship between depression and activities of daily living (ADL) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and explore the mediating role of cognitive function over time.
Methods: Data from 892 PD patients from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) database were included in this study, and depression, cognitive function, and ADL were measured using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), and Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, Part II (UPDRS II) respectively. The cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) was employed to analyze the reciprocal relationship between depression and ADL. 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.
Results: Depression 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).
Conclusion: There is a bidirectional relationship between depression and ADL in patients with PD. Furthermore, we found that cognitive function mediates the relationship that exists between depression and ADL in patients with PD. Interventions aimed at enhancing cognitive function could potentially lessen the vicious cycle of depression and ADL in PD, thus improving patient quality of life (QOL).
