“…Clearly, depression is higher in old age compared to that in general population. The present study results are in line with those in a systematic review study by Sajadi et al [29]. Review of prevalence of depression in the older adults in other countries shows different values, for instance, overall prevalence of depression in older adults of 30.3% in Greece [30], 16.8% in Netherlands [31], and 4.5% in Japan [32].…”

These predictive values are consistent with literature where a married status showed a lower risk of depression when compared to a nonmarried status (30), lower social economic status (SES), that often includes low educational level, appears a predictor of developing depression (31)(32)(33) and depression is a known side-effect of hormonal therapy (34,35).…”

“…In other Arab countries (i.e., Lebanon, Tunisia, Palestine, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Jordan, and Sudan), there was no significant gender difference in reported depression levels, highlighting the potential role of social-cultural context in contributing to presentation (Alansari, 2006). Research reflects increased risk factors associated with depression include poor academic performance (Sajjadi et al, 2013); ineffective parenting style, poor relationships between parents and parent-child, lower parent education (Sajjadi et al, 2013), family acculturation context fit (Asvat & Malcarne, 2008); socioeconomic status (Sajjadi et al, 2013); majority/minority status (Iqbal, Ahmad, & Ayub, 2013); extent of urbanization (Rahman et al, 2009); immigration status (van Geel & Vedder, 2010); and perceived discrimination (Tummala-Narra & Claudius, 2013).…”
