To analyze the depression status and its influencing factors among elderly patients with dyslipidemia comorbidity in China.
Utilizing data from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), we selected individuals aged 60 and above suffering from two or more chronic diseases, including dyslipidemia, to calculate the prevalence of depressive symptoms. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors of depressive symptoms.
A total of 1 120 elderly patients with dyslipidemia comorbidity were included in this study, with a prevalence of depressive symptoms at 46.79%. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that living in rural areas (OR=2.121, 95%CI: 1.475-3.050) and having physical functional impairments (OR=1.053, 95%CI: 1.035-1.072) were risk factors for depression. Conversely, self-rated health (OR=0.782, 95%CI: 0.641-0.955), daily sleep duration (OR=0.835, 95%CI: 0.776-0.899), life satisfaction (OR=0.653, 95%CI: 0.522-0.816), health satisfaction (OR=0.676, 95%CI: 0.554-0.826), and spousal relationship satisfaction (OR=0.691, 95%CI: 0.572-0.835) were identified as protective factors against depression.
The prevalence of depression among elderly patients with dyslipidemia comorbidity in China is notably high. There is a need to enhance the assessment of depressive symptoms in these patients, particularly focusing on those in rural areas and those with physical functional impairments, to safeguard their mental health.
