A new research demonstrates just how dangerous it can be. Brenda Penninx, a gerontologist (老年病学家) in Forest University, North Carolina and her colleagues followed 2, 847 people over the age of 55 both with and without heart disease — for four years in order to trace the effects of depression.(72) In the end, they found that people with major depression were at least three times as likely to die of heart disease as were patients who weren't depressed. Even subjects with mild depression experienced a fatality rate that was 50 percent higher than normal.Brenda Penninx isn't sure exactly what the connection between heart disease and depression is, but since depression can raise stress, and stress triggers an outpouringof the hormone cortisol (荷尔蒙肾上腺皮质素), and this could cause heart rate and blood pressure to rise.Other factors could also play a part: Depressed people are less likely to do physical exercises and eat right than those who do not suffer from the malady. "Depression deserves a lot more attention than it usually gets," Penninx warns. "It's a huge risk factor, so it's really crucial to take care of our emotions."51.
