“…In order to associate depressive symptoms with sociodemographic characteristics, it was necessary to know the prevalence of these symptoms in the subjects who participated in the study. Thus, the presence of mild to moderate depressive symptoms was similar to that found in the national literature, which shows a prevalence of 46.0 to 56.1% of the elderly hospitalized in general hospitals and of 36.5% in elderly patients hospitalized in emergency services (10)(11)(12) .…”

In addition, the situation of sickness, that is, the weakening of health status, can be considered as a factor that predisposes to depression (10)(11)(12) .…”

Objective: to describe the sociodemographic characteristics associated with depressive symptoms in hospitalized elderly. Methods: cross-sectional study carried out in a public teaching hospital. The sample was composed of 96 individuals aged ≥60 years, hospitalized in a clinical and surgical unit. The data collection was performed through a semi-structured interview with the instrument Geriatric Depression Scale. The variables were described through frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations. The Fisher's exact test was used to assess the association with depressive symptoms. Results: a total of 45.8% of the elderly presented mild to moderate depressive symptoms and 1.0% had severe symptoms. There was a predominance of women, between 60 and 79 years old, living with a partner, with low level of education (one to seven years of schooling), Catholics, retirees or pensioners, and with a family income of up to three minimum wages. Conclusion: the labor situation presented a statistically significant association with depressive symptoms in the hospitalized elderly.

Objectives: To compare the sociodemographic and economic profile, functional capacity, number of self-referred morbidities and level of physical activity among the elderly with and without indicative of depression. Methods: Cross-sectional and analytical study, with 980 elderly persons (250 with and 730 without indicative of depression) residing in the city of Uberaba, in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, between August 2012 and May 2013. We used the BOMFAQ Questionnaire, GDS 15, Katz Index, Lawton and Brody Scale and IPAQ. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test (p < 0.05) were used, in the program SPSS, version 17.0. Results: In the comparison between the groups, there were significant differences regarding the female gender (p = 0.009), education (p = 0.008), individual income (p < 0.001), activities of daily living (p < 0.001), instrumental activities of daily living (p < 0.001) and number of morbidities (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The comparison of the existence or not of depressive symptoms among the elderly enables a more effective planning of public policies aimed at health promotion and adequate treatment in cases of disease already present and the subsidization of preventive strategies, using data such as risk factors and associated factors and ways to research depression.

“…Surpreende não ter havido correlação referente ao sexo dos indivíduos, já que a prevalência de depressão é frequentemente maior em mulheres [19][20][21][22][23][24] . Foi inclusive encontrada uma relação inversa (apesar de sem significância estatística), em que a população masculina apresentou maiores índices de depressão.…”
