“…To the best of our knowledge, this was the first study that compared the prevalence of depression in older nursing home residents living in low-altitude and high-altitude regions. Depression was common (26.9%) in older nursing home residents in China, which is similar to the findings in Brazil (23.5%) ( 29 ), but higher than those living in nursing homes in Japan (11.9%) ( 30 ) and Thailand (18.5%) ( 31 ). However, it should be noted that due to different sampling methods, demographic and clinical characteristics, and measures of depression as well as their cutoff values, direct comparisons should be made with caution ( 8 ).…”
