“…Presence of depression was associated with female gender; age of 75-79 years; illiteracy; widowhood; low income; and a higher number of disabilities and diseases, characteristics previously established as risk factors for frailty (Espinoza and Fried 2007) and predicting depressive symptoms in older adults (Rombaldi et al 2010;Ucella 2013).…”

The relationship between the presence of depression, as measured by total score on the GDS-15 scale, and both pre-frailty and frailty status in community-dwelling elderly was determined. Two thousand four hundred and two elderly residents from seven Brazilian cities (M = 72.3 years, SD = 5.5; 66 % female) were evaluated according to the five criteria comprising the frailty phenotype. Participants answered a self-report inventory of diseases, of performance on advanced and instrumental activities of daily living, and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15). The number and types of depressive symptoms were found to be higher among frail and pre-frail elderly. Thus, besides variability in depression prevalence among the frailty profiles there were also characteristic depressive symptoms for each profile of the syndrome.

“…Studies show sociodemographic differences in the prevalence of depression. For example, among women, depression is twice as common as in men 29,30 . The PNS first explored the subject and the data are startling: 7.6% of the population has been diagnosed by a physician or mental health professional.…”

ABSTRACT:Objective: To describe the major noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in Brazil, according to the information collected from individuals aged 18 years or older. Methods: Data from the National Health Survey (PNS), 2013, a transversal population-based study, were used. The proportions of each NCD were calculated and presented according to sex, with a 95% confidence interval (95%CI), with the absolute values. Results: Of the total respondents, 45.1% reported presenting at least one NCD. The region with the highest prevalence of NCDs was the South (52.1%). Hypertension showed the highest prevalence among NCDs, with 21.4%, followed by chronic back problem (18.5%), depression (7.6%), arthritis (6.4%), and diabetes (6.2%). The intense/very intense degree of limitation showed a higher prevalence of other mental illnesses (37.6%) and cerebrovascular accident (25.5%). Conclusion: The improvement of health services is essential for an effective response to the double burden of illness in the middle-and low-income countries.

“…Increased age is considered to be linked with experiencing different psychosocial episodes (deaths of relatives and friends, break up of conjugal relationships), as well as higher exposure to chronic illness. 19 Another explanation is that susceptibility to depression and anxiety may decrease with age. Added to this is reduced emotional response and greater resilience when faced with stressful experiences.…”

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...
