“…In our study, depression negatively correlated with subjective satisfaction and was particularly associated with life satisfaction, followed by children's and marital satisfaction. Good intergenerational relationships and stable marital relationships have a significant positive effect on the life of middle-aged and elderly groups (Deng and Zhang, 2019), which in turn directly affects their mental health and reduces the risk of depression (Abraham et al, 2022;Deng et al, 2023). In summary, depressive symptoms in middle-aged and elderly patients with chronic diseases are caused by multiple factors.…”

ObjectivesTo explore prevalence of depression and its influencing factors in middle-aged and elderly patients with chronic diseases.MethodData were extracted from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Tracking Survey (CHARLS) for 6,704 middle-aged and elderly patients ≥45 years with chronic diseases. The influencing variables were selected based on LASSO-logistic regression model, and a nomogram was further drawn to visualize regression results.ResultsComorbidity between chronic diseases and depression symptoms were detected in 3058 individuals (45.6%). Female, rural, lower education, poor, insomnia, multiple chronic disease, and functional impairment were associated with a higher proportion of depression. Meanwhile, family interaction, intergenerational financial support, social activity intensity, and satisfaction with life can protect against depression.ConclusionDepressive symptoms are common in Chinese older adults with chronic diseases. They need regular assessment and intervention, especially those with multiple diseases, female, rural, alone, impaired, poor sleep, or poor economy. These high-risk elders also need family, medical, and social support and care.

Purpose: According to use and disuse theory, the decreasing size of families in China may have a considerable influence on older adults' health. However, research on the associations among family size, depression, and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) in this population is limited. Thus, the current study examined the role of depression on the impact of family size on IADL and explored the differences between urban and rural areas. Method: Mediation analyses were performed with data from 7,290 older adults aged ≥60 years from the Harmonized China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2018, using stepwise regression and bootstrap methods. Results: Family size had a positive impact on IADL limitations of older adults (0.29, p < 0.01), and the masking effects of depressive symptoms had a partial effect of family size on older adults' IADL. However, these effects only exist in rural areas. Conclusion: Providing emotional support through psychological counseling and guiding caregivers to provide moderate care support is crucial, particularly in rural areas, for alleviating depressive symptoms due to changes in family size and maintaining independent living skills among older adults.
