Abstract

Aims. To examine the relationships between depression, coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and quality of life in Taiwanese adults from a cardiovascular department of a major hospital in Taiwan. Background. Research suggests associations between depression, metabolic syndrome and quality of life. Despite this fact, few studies have investigated these relationships among Taiwanese. Design. A cross‐sectional descriptive correlational design was used to conduct this study. Methods. A convenience sample of 140 adults participated in the study. Data were analysed with descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlations, hierarchical regression and t‐tests. Results. Almost a half of the subjects (46·5%) had metabolic syndrome. The most common combination of metabolic syndrome criteria was elevated blood glucose, central obesity and high blood pressure (23·7%). A greater number of individuals had coronary artery disease (72·9%), type 2 diabetes (35%) and/or depression (21·4%). Type 2 diabetes and depression were significant predictors of overall quality of life (β = −0·16, p
