Background & objectives: The tribal populations are vulnerable to mental health issues owing to various reasons. However, limited research has been conducted to assess depression and related determinants among tribal adults aged ≥45 yr (45 years and older). The present study aimed to assess the prevalence and sociodemographic and health determinants of depressive symptoms among the scheduled tribe (ST) population aged ≥45 yr in India. Methods: The present study analyzed the Wave I data of the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India conducted between April 2017 to December 2018. The outcome variables in the present study were self-reported depressive symptoms. Two internationally recognised tools, the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale (CES-D) and Composite International Diagnostic Interview-Short Form (CIDI-SF), were used to obtain the data, however, only the CES-D data are utilized in this study. The present study focused on 12,215 ST individuals aged ≥45 yr from whom information about depressive symptoms was collected and analyzed. Results: Nearly 25 per cent ST population aged 45 yr or older experienced depressive symptoms. The likelihood of experiencing depressive symptoms among the ST population aged ≥45 yr was negatively associated with 10 or more years of education and living with children and others and positively associated with experiencing multiple morbidity conditions. Interpretation & conclusions: Given the substantial burden of depression among the adult ST population, the present study lays emphasis on raising the awareness about depressive symptoms and strengthen the availability of mental health services among the ST community through intensive campaigns and engagement of ST individuals along with other key stakeholders. Higher education, living with spouse and children and a physically active lifestyle can play a crucial role in limiting depressive symptoms among the tribal adults (≥45 yr). It is paramount to regularly screen depressive symptoms and conduct more microlevel studies to evaluate socioeconomic and health determinants of depressive symptoms among ST communities living in different geographic regions.

“…The increased impact of dementia risk factors such as lower cognitive fitness and cardiovascular fitness, and the potentially increased consequence of traumatic brain injury lower the age of onset of dementia. 9 Also there are psychosocial problems specific to early-onset dementia , such as the effects of grief with a sense of an "outof-step" decline in midlife, unexpected loss of independence, difficulty juggling ongoing responsibilities, and relatively preserved insight with associated depression and anxiety. Since the autosomal dominant familial dementia tends to be of early onset, People belonging to the subgroups of EOD generally presents with higher rates of neurological symptoms and the risk of development of dementia is also greater in these subgroups compared to LOD.…”

According to the definition provided by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2017), dementia is "an umbrella term for several diseases affecting memory, other cognitive abilities and behaviour that interfere significantly with the ability to maintain daily living activities. Although age is its strongest known risk factor, dementia is not a normal part of aging". The associated brain diseases can cause a long-term, often gradual decrease in cognitive abilities, "emotional problems, language difficulties and decreased motivation". The definition provided by the U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS, 2018) is more detailed in stating that dementia is "a group of symptoms caused by disorders that affect the brain. It is not a specific disease" and "memory loss is a common symptom of dementia. However, memory loss by itself does not mean having dementia. People with dementia have serious problems with two or more brain functions, such as memory and language. Although dementia is common in very elderly people, it is not part of normal aging. 1 Many different diseases can cause dementia, including Alzheimer disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Lewy body dementia (LBD), vascular dementia (VD), syphilitic dementia (SD), mixed dementia (MD), senility dementia (SD), or the combined effect of two or more dementia types, and even stroke. About 10% of individuals present with Mixed Dementia, a usual combination of AD and another type of dementia such as FTD or VD. However, not being a specific disease, the above potential contributors do not reach to the primary cause of the disease.
