“…5,11,[39][40][41] The CES-D-10 cut-off of greater than or equal to 8 showed closest similarity to other depression definitions in population-based studies of older adults and had the higher validity for screening purposes. 12 These data are also consistent in highlighting the increased prevalence of depression among females. 8 In previous studies in Australian community-dwelling older women and men, enrolled in the Geelong Osteoporosis Study, the prevalence of any mood disorder, including major depressive disorder, minor depression, and bipolar disorder, was two times greater in women (8.9%) compared with men (3.8%).…”

“…8,9 Recent surveys have indicated that around 8% of community-dwelling Australians aged over 60 years 10 and 11% of over 70 years US population experience clinically significant depression. 11 A recent review of different depression definitions found a high correlation for depression rating scales and a formal DSM-IV diagnosis, with an estimated prevalence of depressive syndromes in older adults 12 around 9%. Regardless of cutoff's for diagnosis of major depression, the presence of minor or subthreshold symptoms was shown to severely impact outcomes in older individuals.…”

Objective This study was conducted to estimate prevalence rates and factors associated with depressive symptoms indexed by the Centre for Epidemiological Studies‐Depression (CES‐D‐10) score in a large sample of community‐dwelling healthy older adults from Australia and the United States. Convergent and divergent validity of the CES‐D‐10 were also examined. Methods A total of 19 114 individuals aged greater than or equal to 65 years old were enrolled from a primary prevention clinical trial. Depressive symptoms were classified using the CES‐D‐10 score greater than or equal to 8 and greater than or equal to 10. Gender‐specific prevalence for subgroups according to sociodemographic characteristics were reported, and factors associated with depressive symptoms were estimated. Results The overall prevalence rates of depressive symptoms were 9.8%, 95% CI, 8.5‐11.2 and 5.0%, 95% CI, 4.0‐6.0, according to the CES‐D‐10 score greater than or equal to 8 and greater than or equal to 10, respectively. Depressive symptoms were more common in women, individuals with less than 12 years of education, those living alone or in a residential care, ethnic minorities, current smokers, and former alcohol users. Convergent and divergent validities of the CES‐D‐10 were confirmed by observing strong negative association with the SF‐12 mental health component and a modest negative association with SF‐12 physical component, respectively. Conclusions This study reports the prevalence of depressive symptoms in Australian and US community‐dwelling healthy older populations. These findings emphasize the high burden of the condition and factors associated with depressive symptoms, to better inform clinicians and help with early detection and treatment of depression in this age group.

“…Results of a meta-analysis study showed the overall prevalence of depression in the older adult was 43% in Iran between 2001 and 2015 [26]. A study in Sweden showed the prevalence of depression was 4.2% and the moderate-severe type was 1.6% [27]. A study in China also showed that the overall prevalence of depression in the older adult was 36.9%, and reported that the prevalence of symptoms was higher in women 50.4% as compared to men 33.3%.…”

Background: Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in the older adult and one of the most common risk factors for suicide in the older adult. Studies show different and inconsistent prevalence rates in Iran. This study aims to determine the prevalence of severe depression in Iranian older adult through a meta-analysis approach. Methods: The present meta-analysis was conducted between January 2000-August 2019. Articles related to the subject matter were obtained by searching Scopus, Sciencedirect, SID, magiran, Barakat Knowledge Network System, Medline (PubMed), and Google Scholar databases. The heterogeneity of the studies was evaluated using I 2 index and the data were analyzed in Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. Results: In a study of 3948 individuals aged 50-90 years, the overall prevalence of severe depression in Iranian older adult was 8.2% (95% CI, 4.14-6.3%) based on meta-analysis. Also, in order to investigate the effects of potential factors (sample size and year of study) on the heterogeneity of severe depression in Iranian older adult, meta-regression was used. It was reported that the prevalence of severe depression in Iranian older adult decreased with increasing sample size and increasing years of the study, which is significantly different (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of severe depression in Iranian older adult, it is necessary for health policy makers to take effective control measures and periodic care for the older adult.

“…A community-based study conducted in South Africa using the GDS found depressive symptoms in 40% of the elderly (6). In contrary, depression prevalence in the elderly population is lower (range 9.0% -11.0%) in developed countries than underdeveloped countries (19,20). This higher depression rate seen in the underdeveloped countries may be attributed to the economic deprivation that might affect older adults more than the young adults.…”

Introduction:The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms in elderly people living in Manisa and to reveal the possible risk factors.Materials and Method: The population of this cross-sectional study included 17760 elderly people living in the Manisa Celal Bayar University Health Education and Research District in 2017. The sample size of the study was calculated as 546 using Epi Info 7.0 software. Sample selection was performed by a simple random sampling method of the records of Manisa Provincial Public Health Directorate. The data were collected by authors, and the participation ratio was 97.8% (n=534). The Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living and Geriatric Depression Scale were used as data collection tools, in addition to a sociodemographic form. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariate Odds ratios (with logistic regression analysis).Results: The mean age of the participants was 72.70±6.35 years. Of note, 56.3% of the elderly participants were women, 44.3% were primary school graduates and 19.6% were living alone. Moreover, 78.6% of them had at least one chronic disease requiring continuous medication. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 32.8%.Conclusion: Multivariate analyses indicated that the prevalence of depressive symptoms is more likely higher in individuals living alone and in those who are dependent on others for daily life activities. Additionally, negative expenditure income balance, perceived annual change in health status, history of previous psychiatric disease and history of abuse significantly increase the prevalence of depressive symptoms. Giriş: Bu çalışmada Manisa'da yaşayan yaşlılarda depresif belirti sıklığını saptamak ve olası risk faktörlerini ortaya çıkarmak amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki çalışmanın evreni Mart-Nisan 2017'de Manisa Celal Bayar Üniversitesi Sağlık Eğitim Araştırma Bölgesi Toplum Sağlığı Merkezi bölgesinde yaşayan 17760 yaşlıdan oluşmuştur. Araştırmanın örneklem büyüklüğü Epi info 7.0 programı kullanılarak hesaplanmış ve 546 yaşlı olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışmaya alınacak yaşlılar Manisa İl Halk Sağlığı Müdürlüğü kayıtlarından basit rastgele örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilmiştir. Veriler yüz yüze görüşülerek toplanmıştır. Katılım oranı %97.8 (n=534) olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Katılımcılara sosyodemografik veri formu, Katz Günlük Yaşam Aktiviteleri Ölçeği ve Geriatrik Depresyon Ölçeği (GDS-30) veri toplama aracı olarak uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler betimleyici istatistikler, tek değişkenli ve çok değişkenli (lojistik regresyon analizleri ile) Odds Oranları hesaplanarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılanların yaş ortalaması 72.70±6.35'dir. Araştırmaya katılan yaşlıların %56.3'ü kadın, %44.3'ü ilkokul mezunu ve %19.6'sı yalnız yaşamaktadır. %78.6'sında sürekli ilaç kullanmayı gerektiren en az bir kronik hastalık vardır. Depresif belirti sıklığı ise %32.8'dir.Sonuç: Çok değişkenli analizlerde, yalnız yaşayan, günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde başkası...
