Abstract
Background: The prevalence of comorbid depression was found to be two to three times higher among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) as compared to non-diabetics; thus the present study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of depression and its associated factors among patients with DM in Makkah region, Saudi Arabia. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among a convenience sample of 169 diabetic patients through an online link. The Arabic version of the Beck Depression Inventory tool was used to evaluate the presence of depression. The sociodemographic characteristics and clinical data were also assessed, and presented in frequencies and percentages. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify potential risk factors, using adjusted odds ratios (OR) and confidence intervals (CI). Results: The prevalence of overall depression among patients with diabetes was 21.3%. The majority had no or minimal level of depression (N = 102, 60.4%), while 26 participants had mild depression (15.4%) and 27 had moderate depression. Fourteen participants had severe depression (8.3%). Depression was significantly more prevalent among males (p = 0.001) and obese participants (p = 0.03). Obesity (AOR = 2.43, 95% CI (1.1, 5.2) was the only significant independent risk factor for depression among patients with DM. Conclusion: Depression is highly prevalent among patients with DM and it most commonly coexists with obesity. Also, depression is more common among males and obese diabetic patients.

Key words: Depression, diabetes mellitus, beck depression inventory, Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
