Levels of depression and life exhaustion in the open population of the middle urbanized Siberian city: gender differences

Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the levels of depression and life exhaustion in men and women of the open urban population in the age range. Materials and methods. A single-stage epidemiological study was conducted among people of both sexes aged 25-64 in Tyumen. A representative sample was formed from the electoral lists of citizens by the method of "random numbers" - 2000 men and women with a response among men 85.0%, among women - 70.3%. The study of depression was conducted according to the algorithms of the program of the world health organization "MONICA-psychosocial". Results. The prevalence of depression in the Tyumen population and in the age and sex groups showed a predominance of the average level over the high, in the age categories 25-34 and 35-44 years - significantly higher prevalence of high levels of depression in women. The higher prevalence of the average level of men and women IN the open population was determined to be relatively high. The average level of LIFE significantly prevails in women in the older age categories and in the population as a whole, the high level of LIFE - at the age of 25-34 years in women and at the age of 55-64 years in men. Conclusion. Therefore, in the open population of the middle-urbanized Siberian city there is a need to form an integrated approach to the prevention of non-infectious diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases, as it is established that prevention programs lead to a reduction in the burden of depression and, and effective approaches to the prevention of psycho-emotional States at the level of individual communities include school-oriented programs to teach positive thinking among the population, starting from a young age.

Association of Vital Exhaustion with Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Diseases, Quality of Life and Lifestyle in 41–44-Year-Old Muscovite Men

“…The results of our study suggested that over 25% of surveyed men had a medium VE level, while every tenth study subject had a critically high VE value. Our findings partially agree with the results of the study conducted in Siberia on Tyumen men in terms of the critical VE level (12.3%), but are lower than the fraction of Tyumen males with a medium VE level (38.6%) [ 23 ], and are even lower than the level of corresponding indicators revealed by some studies conducted in Europe, where the proportion of men with a medium VE level was 51.7% and with a critical high VE level was 31.5% [ 24 ]. The lower prevalence of VE in the Moscow area, as compared to the Tyumen region, may have been caused by the higher quality of life in Muscovites and more severe climatic conditions in the Siberian region.…”
