They investigated the association between depression and comorbid conditions (diabetes, hypertension, and cancer) with dementia in a national population-based sample. They found that depression and the interaction/joint effect of depression and the respective comorbid conditions (diabetes, hypertension, and cancer) were associated with increased dementia odds.
