“…Brink et al suggested that GDS scores less than or equal to 10 be considered normal, whereas scores greater than or equal to 11 be indicative of possible depression, noting that using a cutoff score of 14 avoids false‐positives. The cutoff of greater than or equal to 11 is supported by Yang and Chiou in their study of patients with arthritis. The developer's website provides the following interpretive guidelines: 0 to 9 = normal; 10 to 19 = mild depression; and 20 to 30 = severe depression.…”

“…A study in Korea found that patients with RA were three times more likely to experience depression, as assessed by the PHQ-9, if they also had limitations in activities of daily living (34). A study in Taiwan Province of China also associated higher functional ability with lower levels of depression measured by the Geriatric Depression Scale (38). A longitudinal study conducted in China revealed a reciprocal relationship between depressive symptoms, defined by the CESD-10, and mobility disability in patients with arthritis (5), reflecting their complex interaction.…”

IntroductionDepressive symptoms are often experienced by patients with arthritis and are correlated with poor health outcomes. However, the association between depressive symptoms and multidimensional factors (sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions, health behaviors, and social support) among older patients with arthritis in China remains poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of depressive symptoms in older patients with arthritis in eastern China and identify the associated factors.MethodsWe analyzed data of 1,081 older patients with arthritis using secondary data from 2014 to 2020 from a community-based ongoing study initiated in 2014 in eastern China. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was calculated, and univariate and multilevel logistic regression analyses were used to identify the associated factors.ResultsThe mean age of older patients with arthritis was 69.16 ± 7.13 years; 42.92% were men and 57.08% were women. The prevalence of depressive symptoms in older patients with arthritis was 14.99% (95% confidence interval: 12.91–17.26%), about 1.8 times higher than that in older adults without arthritis (8.49%, p < 0.001). Multilevel logistic regression identified perception of poor economic status (odds ratio [OR] = 5.52, p < 0.001), multimorbidity (OR = 1.96, p = 0.001), limitations in activities of daily living (OR = 2.36, p = 0.004), and living alone (OR = 3.13, p = 0.026) as factors positively associated with depressive symptoms. Patients diagnosed with arthritis at an older age had lower odds of experiencing depressive symptoms (OR = 0.67, p = 0.046).ConclusionScreening for depressive symptoms is essential among older patients with arthritis, especially those who perceive themselves as having a poor economic status, are diagnosed at an earlier age, have multimorbidity, have limitations in activities of daily living, and live alone. The associations of age at arthritis diagnosis and dietary behaviors with depressive symptoms require further research.
