Key Points Question Are depressive symptoms associated with incident cardiovascular disease among middle-aged and older Chinese adults? Findings In this cohort study of 12 417 Chinese adults, participants with depressive symptoms at baseline had higher incident rates of cardiovascular disease compared with those without such symptoms. Elevated depressive symptoms as a whole and 2 individual symptoms (restless sleep and loneliness) were significantly associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease after adjusting for potential confounders. Meaning This study suggests that depressive symptoms, particularly restless sleep and loneliness, may be associated with incident cardiovascular disease among middle-aged and older Chinese adults.
