This systematic review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42018089279) and the protocol is published. Results: The search yielded 11,640 studies. Subsequent to removing duplicates, 9657 studies were screened at title and abstract stage and 1456 were assessed at full-text stage. Eighteen studies met criteria for inclusion in this review. Meta-analysis did not reveal a significant difference between groups for treatment outcome (standardised mean difference 0.22 [-0.09, 0.54]; I²: 69%, p=0.17) and remission (risk ratio 0.84 [0.64, 1.11]; I²: 51%, p=0.22). Limitations: This review was limited by lack of studies on bipolar disorder. Conclusion: PD comorbidity does not appear to affect treatment efficacy of pharmacological interventions for adults with mood disorders.]]> Wed 10 Aug 2022 13:16:51 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46576 n = 10,892, 52.8% women). We calculated country-specific prevalence of low grip strength, slow GS (≤ 0.8 m/s), and both measures combined. Using multivariable negative binomial regression, we separately assessed associations between low grip strength, slow GS, and both measures combined, with the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0, accounting for selected socioeconomic factors. In women, low grip strength ranged from 7 in South Africa to 51% in India; in men, it ranged from 17 in Russia to 51% in Mexico. Country-specific proportions of slow GS ranged from 77 in Russia, to 33% in China. The concomitant presence of both was the lowest in South Africa and the highest in India (12.3% vs. 33%). Independent of age, those with both low grip strength and slow GS had between 1.2- and 1.5-fold worse functional disability scores, independent of comorbidities, low education, and low wealth (all country-dependent). Low grip strength, slow GS, and the combination of both, were all associated with higher levels of functional disability, thus indicating these objective measures offer a reasonably robust estimate for potential poor health outcomes.]]> Fri 23 Jun 2023 12:19:34 AEST ]]>
