Introduction: Depressive disorders can be defined as episodes of depressed mood or loss of interest and pleasure in nearly all activities. Depression is considered a major mental disorder in the elderly, and may be related to quality of sleep and living habits as well as being influenced by sociodemographic factors. Objective: To determine the prevalence of depression among the elderly in the north-east of Brazil, and the relationship between the condition and socio-demographic profile, quality of sleep and living habits. Method: An epidemiological cross-sectional study was performed of the elderly population of the urban area of Campina Grande, Paraiba. The dependent variable presence of depression and the independent variables sociodemographic aspects, sleep quality, and living habits were investigated. Estimates of the prevalence of the variables were obtained and association measured using Poisson Regression. A 5% significance level was adopted for the estimates. Results: The study included 168 elderly patients with a mean age of 72.3 (±7.8) years, most of whom, 122 (72.6%), were women. Depression was identified in 72 elderly persons (42.9%). Elderly women were twice as associated with depression (PR=2.26) as men. A subjective quality of sleep of very good (PR=0.34), medium/high risk of sleep disturbance (PR = 4.08), taking sleeping medications once or twice (PR=5.21) and three times or more (PR=8.69) a week, daytime dysfunction once or twice (PR=14.40) and three times or more (PR=27) a week and poor quality of sleep on the Pittsburgh index were associated with depression in bivariate analysis, although there was no relationship following multivariable adjustment. Conclusion: The prevalence of depression was high in the studied population, being noticeably more frequent among elderly woman. However, it was not possible to detect an association between depression and living habits and sleep quality.

“…Brazilian epidemiological studies with older adults have shown that the prevalence of depressive symptoms varies between 19 and 34% in different regions of the country (Batistoni, Neri, & Cupertino, 2010;Benedetti, Borges, Petroski, & Gonçalves, 2008;Hoffmann, Ribeiro, Farnese, & Lima, 2010;Lima, Silva, & Ramos, 2009). The high prevalence of depression is an important public health problem, which deserves attention from health professionals and health service managers.…”

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence and associated factors of depressive symptoms in the elderly. METHODS:Cross-sectional population based epidemiological study (The EpiFloripa Elderly survey) was carried out in two stage clusters, census tracts and households, with1.656 elderly individuals in Florianópolis, SC. The prevalence of depressive symptoms (outcome) was obtained using Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) and its associations with socio-demographic, health, behavioral and social variables were assessed. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% confi dence intervals were calculated using Poisson regression. RESULTS:Depressive symptoms were observed in 23.9% of the elderly individuals (95%CI 21.84;26.01). In the fi nal model, depressive symptoms were associated with: 5 to 8 years of schooling (PR = 1.50, 95%CI 1.08;2.08); one to four years of schooling (PR = 1.62, 95%CI 1.18;2.23) and no schooling (PR = 2.11, 95%CI 1.46;3.05); being in a worse fi nancial condition than at the age of 50 (PR = 1.33, 95%CI 1.02;1.74); cognitive impairment (PR = 1.45, 95%CI 1.21;1.75); perceiving their health to be regular (PR = 1.95, 95%CI 1.47;2.60) or poor (PR = 2.64, 95%CI 1.82;3.83); functional dependence (PR =1.83, 95%CI 1.43;2.33) and chronic pain (PR = 1.35, 95%CI 1.10;1.67). Elderly people often suffer from depression and it is highlighted as one of the most common and signifi cant psychiatric problems. 2,8 According to a systematic review, prevalence worldwide varies between 0.9% and 9.4% in those living in the community and 14% to 42% in those living in a care home.8 Brazilian epidemiological studies carried out with the elderly show that the prevalence of depressive symptoms varies between 195 and 34% in the different regions of the country. 4,5,10,15 The high prevalence of depression requires the attention of health care professionals and managers, as this disease increases the likelihood of functional incapacity in the elderly 16 and constitutes a signifi cant public health problem.Among the factors linked to depression, the following stand out: being female, insomia, 6,10 and a predominance of negative exchanges in relationships with family and friends. 23 These factors, especially those that can be modifi ed, need to be further explored, taking into account cultural differences between countries and regional differences within those countries, as in Brazil.Identifying the factors linked to the presence of depressive symptoms may help prevent depression among the elderly 3 and give an opportunity to non-pharmacological treatment strategies. The following were assumed in calculating the general sample for the EpiFloripa Elderly Survey: a population of 44,460, b unknown outcome prevalence (50%), sample error equal to four percentage points, 95% confi dence level and design effect equal to two. An additional 20% was added to cover the predicted losses, and another 15% in order to control confounding factors, giving a minimum sample size of 1,599 individuals.The selection process for the sample w...
