Background: Depression is the most common psychiatric disorder among old age people and it's detection and treatment is a matter of skill. The study's goal is to assess depression in older primary care patients in Baghdad. To determine if depression is linked to age, gender, marital status, economic situation, or physical ailment. Method: A cross-sectional research of 178 senior patients aged 65 and older was undertaken to investigate depression prevalence. Eight individuals were removed owing to interview rejection. The remaining 170 patients consented and completed the questionnaire.ICD-10 checklist criteria are used to diagnose severe depression based on patient reports or physician confirmation. Results: In a study of 170 elderly patients aged 65-80 in Baghdad, a 35.3% prevalence of major depression was found, with higher rates in females (47.6%) than males (23.3%), and among the divorced, widowed, or separated (56.3%) compared to married individuals (25.4%). Depression was more prevalent in those of low socioeconomic status (55%) and those with chronic physical illnesses (50%). Conclusion: One third of primary health care older patients has significant depressive disorder, although none have been diagnosed by general practitioners. Gender, marital status, socioeconomic position, and physical ailment are connected with depression.

Limited research has been carried out on the effects of pain, comorbidity, and impaired function in musculoskeletal patients in Jizan, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 115 patients (aged ≥ 55 years) with physician-diagnosed musculoskeletal conditions in Jizan to investigate the association between pain severity, comorbidities, and dependence on activities of daily living (ADLs). Self-reported questionnaires were used to collect data on pain, comorbidities, and physical function measured by ADLs. In ADLs, participants were categorized as dependent (n = 36) or independent (n = 79). Logistic regression analysis was employed to determine the predictors of dependence. The results showed that higher pain severity (adjusted odds ratio (OR): 1.69, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.21–2.38, p = 0.002) and a greater number of comorbidities (adjusted OR: 1.52, 95% CI: 1.06–2.17, p = 0.021) were independently associated with dependence in ADLs. These associations remained significant even after controlling for covariates. This study concluded that patients with musculoskeletal conditions in Jizan who experience high levels of pain and comorbidities are at risk of dependence on basic daily activities. Therefore, addressing pain and comorbidities is crucial for maintaining independence and improving quality of life. Personalized rehabilitation programs are needed to manage these conditions in this region.
