“…These results showed that an intervention program for depression is needed for females in the poor heath condition. The results of this study were consistent with the results of Seo and So [28], Kim and Park [29], and Won and Kim [30]. However, Won and Kim [30] and Seo and So [28] reported that significant differences according to the educational level were also observed.…”

“…The results of this study are lower than those of Seo and So [28], a study of elderly residents in a town, and are similar to those of Kim and Park [29], research of elderly people aged 65 and over in urban areas [28,29]. The subjects of Seo and So [28] were composed of 58.4% of high-risk frail older people and 49.4% of older people requiring the care by the visiting health care center, and their health status was worse than that of the subjects of this study, which is thought to be the reason why the level of depression was lower in this study [28].…”

Purpose: This study aims to examine the influence of vitamin D and calcium on depression and cognitive function of the elderly living alone in a city. Methods: The participants were registered in eight senior centers in S city and they had lived alone. Data were collected between November 28, 2014 and March 7, 2015. A total of 155 people participated in data collection to measure the serum vitamin D, the serum calcium, depression, and cognitive function. The data were analyzed with t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results: There were significant differences in depression according to gender and perceptions of health status. Depression correlated significantly with the serum calcium and perceptions of health status, and a stepwise regression analysis showed that the perceptions of health status were significant. There were significant differences in cognitive function according to education level and age. Cognitive function correlated significantly with the serum vitamin D and a stepwise regression analysis showed that education level and age were significant. Conclusion: Consequently, elderly people with poor perceptions of their health status need a depressive intervention program and those with a higher age and lower level of education need a cognitive function intervention program.

“…(2012) reported that 27.8% of older adults in Korea suffered from depression; this rate, after accounting for differences in age, gender, education, and urbanicity, was 10.1%. In contrast, Kim and Park (2012) and reported rates of 61.6% and 64.7% respectively, among those who utilized community centres in provinces and the capital, Seoul. Prior investigations have demonstrated that instruments, the local culture, and living environments can affect the prevalence of depression.…”

“…Depression has been recognised as the most prevalent mental health problem afflicting older adults (Minardi and Blanchard, 2004), and is thus far the strongest predictive factor of suicide . The rates of depression in Korean older adults have been known to range widely, from 27.8% to 61.6%, depending on the region and measurements used Kim and Park, 2012). These rates are considerably higher than those in the United States (10-24%) and Japan (10.4-29.1%) (Cole and Dendukuri, 2003;Kaneko et al ., 2007).…”

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of depression and suicidal ideation in community-dwelling older adults in Korea, as well as identify factors associated with their occurrence, including cognitive impairment. A cross-sectional study of 484 residents was conducted at a senior centre utilising the PHQ-9K and K-MMSE. Demographic data were also collected for analysis. Of the respondents, 38.1% had symptoms of mild to severe depression. Further, 16.7% reported having suicidal ideation, with 5% of respondents having thoughts of suicide every day. The majority of participants had 'normal' scores on the K-MMSE (88.0%), though significant differences were observed in PHQ-9K scores between cognitive-acceptable and cognitive-impaired groups. Depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation were very prevalent in community-dwelling older adults in Korea. This study indicates the need for the development of communitybased mental health programs tailored to older adults, and demonstrates the viability of promoting early detection of depressive symptoms through senior centres.

Data were collected through questionnaires from 393 older people. Data analysis was done with SPSS/WIN 17.0. Results: The prevalence of depression for elders was 14.8%. Living with family and level of education were significant factors related to depressive symptoms identified through multiple logistic regression analysis. After adjusting for several confounding factors, the factors related to depressive symptoms were number of chronic diseases, social support, frequency of social contact, sleep disturbance, and stress. Conclusion: Results of this study indicate that there is a need to construct and implement an integrated preventive program for depression which deals with care for chronic disease, reduction of stress, increased connection with a community network for social support and management of sleep disturbances.
