Unraveling the Mind-Heart Connection: Exploring Depressive symptoms and Cardiovascular Traits in the Lifelines Cohort Study

In our research, we wish to investigate the relationship between mental health and heart health over time. We want to understand how depressive symptoms might affect the risk of heart problems like high blood pressure. By analyzing data from a large group of people over several years, we hope to uncover patterns that could help us better prevent cardiovascular disease outcomes. Our goal is to improve the overall health and well-being of individuals affected by these conditions.
