ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the current status of depression in older people aged 65 and over in Henan Province, and to study its influencing factors, with a focus on depression in older adults in grandparent families.Methods:A multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used.Baseline data about older people aged 65 and over were collected by self-designed questionnaires, the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale(GDS-15)was used to assess depression.Results:A total of 7673 valid questionnaires about older adults aged 65 and over were collected, and the rate of depression was 29.52%(2265). Logistic regression analysis showed that 15 factors, such type of parenting, religious belief, region, degree of self-care, affected depression in older people aged 65 and above.Compared with regular parenting, grandparenting alone was a protective factor for depression[ OR(95% CI)=0.613(0.499-0.755), P<0.01]; compared with religious belief, no religious belief was a risk factor for depression[ OR(95% CI)=1.281(1.102-1.488), P<0.01]; compared with income ≥¥4000, incomes between ¥1000-1999[ OR(95% CI)=0.638(0.464-0.877), P<0.01], between ¥2000-2999[ OR(95% CI)=0.567(0.432-0.744), P<0.01]and between¥3000-3999[ OR(95% CI)=0.584(0.448-0.761), P<0.01]were protective factors for depression, with higher income showing stronger protection; compared with retirement, working had a protective effect, but the protective strength decreased in the order of working as urban labor, [ OR(95% CI)=0.332(0.273-0.405), P<0.01], as farmers[ OR(95% CI)=0.391(0.296-0.516), P<0.01], and as professionals or managers[ OR(95% CI)=0.514(0.402-0.656), P<0.01]; living in rural areas[ OR(95% CI)=0.686(0.586-0.804), P<0.01]and female[ OR(95% CI)=0.820(0.734-0.917), P<0.01]were risk factors for depression. Conclusions:There is currently a high rate of depression in older people aged 65 and over in Henan Province.Its influence factors are complicated and variable.Intervention measures taken by institutions need to adapt to specific circumstances.
