Abstract
In our cohort, testosterone levels were low but progressively increased from premenopause through post menopause. In addition to age and history of depression, we identified race to have a significant interaction between the association of testosterone levels and depressive symptoms. This study further supports the associations between sex hormones and increased risk of having depressive symptoms, although the precise underlying mechanisms for this association remain unclear.
