Kaplan Meier survival plots for MDD and non-MDD subjects.

<p>Patients with MDD (blue lines) were more likely to suffer from stroke (A), HTN (B), hyperlipidemia (C), but not DM (D) over time than normal subjects (red lines). Axis-X represents the time in years, and axis-Y the percentage survival. A log-rank test was used to compare the between-group survival distributions and a value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
