Association between depressive symptoms and objective/subjective socioeconomic status among older adults of two regions in Myanmar

Low objective socioeconomic status (SES) has been correlated with poor physical and mental health among older adults. Some studies suggest that subjective SES is also important for ensuring sound physical and mental health among older adults. However, few studies have been conducted on the impact of...

The mean age of the 1,186 participants aged 60 years and above was 69.7 (SD: 7.3), and 706 (59.5%) were female. Among them, 265 (22.3%) had depressive symptoms. After adjusting for objective SES and other covariates, only low subjective SES was positively associated with depressive symptoms (adjusted odds ratio, AOR: 4.18, 95% confidence interval, CI: 2.98-5.87). This association was stronger among participants in the rural areas (urban areas, AOR: 2.10, 95% CI: 1.08-4.05; rural areas, AOR: 5.65, 95% CI: 3.69-8.64). Subjective SES has a stronger association with depressive symptoms than objective SES, among older adults of the two regions in Myanmar, especially in the rural areas. Interventions for depression in older adults should consider regional differences in the context of subjective SES by reducing socioeconomic disparities among the communities.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1932-6203</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1932-6203</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0245489</identifier><identifier>PMID: 33507963</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Public Library of Science</publisher><subject>Adults ; Aged ; Dementia ; Demographic aspects ; Depression, Mental ; Diagnosis ; Health aspects ; Health care ; Health services ; Life satisfaction ; Low income groups ; Medicine ; Medicine and Health Sciences ; Mental depression ; Mental health ; Mental health services ; Objectives ; Older people ; People and Places ; Population ; Primary care ; Psychological aspects ; Public health ; Questionnaires ; Risk factors ; Rural areas ; Social classes ; Social interactions ; Social Sciences ; Social status ; Socioeconomic factors ; Socioeconomic status ; Socioeconomics ; University graduates ; Urban areas</subject><ispartof>PloS one, 2021-01, Vol.16 (1), p.e0245489-e0245489</ispartof><rights>COPYRIGHT 2021 Public Library of Science</rights><rights>2021 Sasaki et al.
