Objective: This study aimed to determine the association between hypertension and depressive symptoms, as well as to estimate the prevalence of both hypertension and depressive symptoms in the Peruvian population. Methods: Data from a population-based study was utilized. People aged ≥18 years and current residents of selected areas were included. The presence of depressive symptoms was measured using the PHQ-9 scale while hypertension was estimated using the mean of two measurements made during the interview. Poisson regression with robust standard errors was used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) and confidence intervals at 95% (95% CI) for the association of interest. Results: Data from 25699 individuals were analyzed, mean age was 44.1 (DE: 17.7) years, 54.0% were females. The prevalence of depressive symptoms and HTA were 2.7% ((IC95%: 2.5%-3.0%) and 21.9% (IC95%: 21.1%-22.9%), respectively. In the multivariable analysis, HTA was not associated with the presence of depressive symptoms (PR=1.16; IC95% 0.90-1.50) after adjusting for confounders and the study design. Conclusion: This study found no association between hypertension and the presence of depressive symptoms.
