Objective

To explore the prevalence and influencing factors of depression among the elderly in rural areas of Sichuan Province.

Methods

By using the method of multi-stage sampling, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 606 rural elderly persons in Sichuan from July to August, 2022. Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of depression.

Results

The average score of depression in the rural elderly was (3.79± 3.21) points, 85 people had depressive symptoms, and the prevalence rate of depressive symptoms was 14.0%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that not seeking medical treatment due to economic difficulties in the past year (OR=10.140, 95%CI: 3.347-30.716), hospitalization in the past year (OR=5.229, 95%CI: 2.789-9.801), self-rated health fair or below( poor self-rated health: OR=20.301, 95%CI: 7.666-53.761; fair self-rated health: OR=5.912, 95%CI: 2.729-12.807) and childless (OR=8.495, 95%CI: 1.747-41.313) were risk factors for depressive symptoms in the rural elderly (P<0.05). Living with a spouse (OR=0.321, 95%CI: 0.116-0.888) and high social support (OR=0.505, 95%CI: 0.260-0.982) were protective factors for depressive symptoms in rural elderly (P<0.05).

Conclusion

The depression situation of the elderly in rural areas of Sichuan Province is worrying, which needs to be paid special attention and early intervention, especially for the rural elderly with economic difficulties, poor health status, no children or living alone.
