To explore the relationship between multidimensional social deprivation and symptoms of anxiety and depression in the elderly.
In July 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 533 individuals aged 60 and above in a district of Chengdu. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between social deprivation and its dimensions with symptoms of anxiety and depression, while multiple binary logistic regression analysis was employed to examine the association between social deprivation and its dimensions with anxiety and depression symptoms.
The detection rates of anxiety and depression symptoms among the study participants were 12.9% and 12.8%, respectively, with a co-occurrence rate of 7.7%. The total score of the social deprivation scale was (45.34±9.30). There were positive correlations between social deprivation and depression symptoms (r=0.544, P<0.001) as well as anxiety symptoms (r=0.391, P<0.001). Social deprivation and its dimensions were identified as risk factors for both anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms, as well as their co-occurrence (P<0.001). Among elderly individuals with chronic diseases, social deprivation and its dimensions were associated with the co-occurrence of anxiety and depression symptoms (P<0.001).
Multidimensional social deprivation is a risk factor for anxiety and depression symptoms in the elderly. Targeted interventions to reduce social deprivation are recommended to improve the mental health of older adults.
