Objective

To analyze the current status of the provision of intergenerational support and depression among people aged 45-60 in China, and evaluate its impact on depression, providing a theoretical basis for further improving their health status.

Methods

Based on the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study Database (CHARLS), 7 861 middle-aged individuals aged 45-60 were included as the research subjects for analysis. The demographic characteristics, intergenerational support status, and depression status were described. The stepwise regression method was used to explore the influence of intergenerational support on depression status.

Results

In the past year, among respondents providing emotional, economic, and life care support, 2 046 (63.8%) frequently met their parents, 2 646 (59.4%) cases met their children frequently, and 3 634(88.0%) cases often contacted their children. The number of respondents of providing financial support to the parents and to their children were 1 439 (18.3%) and 2 781 (35.4%), respectively. There were 1 679 (52.4%) cases who took care of their parents, 1 851 (94.6%) cases who took care their children, and 1 965 (64.1%) cases who took care of their grandchildren. The detection rate of depressive symptoms was 35.1%. In binary logistic regression adjusting for other factors, the results showed that the risk of depression detection was 0.571 (0.385-0.848) lower in those with frequent contact with their children than in those with infrequent contact.

Conclusion

Regular contact with children significantly reduced the risk of depression, whereas financial support or caregiving alone did not have a significant effect on depression.
