2003 JUL 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Age, education, and country of birth may be a breast cancer subgroup vulnerable to depression.

According to a study from Australia, "The aim of this study was to determine population norms and determinants of anxiety and depression in a population-based sample of 731 women with breast cancer (aged 23-60 years) with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS).

"The prevalence of 'probable' psychological morbidity due to anxiety was 23% and due to depression was 3%. When the women identified as 'possible' cases were included, the respective proportions were 45 and 12%," wrote R.H. Osborne and colleagues, University of Melbourne, School of Population Health.

"Higher anxiety was present in younger, less educated women not born in Australia. There was no clear pattern of risk factors for depression. These population-based findings highlight the need for clinicians to be aware that age, education and country of birth may identify a particularly vulnerable subgroup," the researchers wrote.
