“…However, previous studies have suggested that patients with high education levels are more likely to have better medical and disease condition knowledge and are thus less likely prone to anxiety, depression and other negative emotions caused 2798 by errors and negative news than those with low education levels; accordingly, they can actively respond to and positively face the difficulties in front of them. 34 We think that the reason why the results of this study were different from those of previous studies may be related to differences in the cultural levels of patients. The logistic regression analysis showed that introversion was a risk factor for the development of ASD in EPOFs, and introverts are more likely to have ASD than extroverts.…”

“…This study revealed that 13.6% of the general public suffered from depression during the early stages of the pandemic of COVID-19 in China. The prevalence of depression was slightly lower than the prevalence before the outbreak of COVID-19 from previous studies [ 56 - 58 ] (13.8% vs 18.8%). The results also indicated that the prevalence of depression during the COVID-19 pandemic is almost identical to that during the SARS epidemic (11.9% vs 18.0%) among the general public in China [ 59 , 60 ].…”

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has recently spread dramatically worldwide, raising considerable concerns and resulting in detrimental effects on the psychological health of people who are vulnerable to the disease. Therefore, assessment of depression in members of the general public and their psychological and behavioral responses is essential for the maintenance of health. Objective This study aimed to assess the prevalence of depression and the associated factors among the general public during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in China. Methods A cross-sectional survey with convenience sampling was conducted from February 11 to 16, 2020, in the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak in China. A self-administrated smartphone questionnaire based on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and psychological and behavioral responses was distributed to the general public. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted to explore the associated factors of depression.aA cross-sectional survey with convenience sampling was conducted from February 11 to 16, 2020, in the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak in China. A self-administrated smartphone questionnaire based on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and psychological and behavioral responses was distributed to the general public. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted to explore the associated factors of depression. Results The prevalence of depression (PHQ-9 score ≥10) among the general public during the COVID-19 pandemic was 182/1342 (13.6%). Regression analysis indicated that feeling stressed, feeling helpless, persistently being worried even with support, never feeling clean after disinfecting, scrubbing hands and items repeatedly, hoarding food, medicine, or daily supplies, and being distracted from work or study were positively associated with depression, while social support and being calm were negatively associated with depression. Conclusions The general public suffered from high levels of depression during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, COVID-19–related mood management and social support should be provided to attenuate depression in the general public.

“…Our results accord with the previous findings of risk factors for depression among older Chinese adults. [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] Higher severity grades in age, number of chronic diseases, and living area (gross and per capita) each independently increase probable and possible depression among rural older adults in China. Studies conducted in urban China indicated the same patterns in rural areas.…”

ObjectivesFew data on the association between housing structure and depression among rural elders in China are available. We examined the impact of built forms on depression.DesignThis is a cross-sectional study.SettingA representative sample of rural residents aged 60 years or older in China.ParticipantsA total of 5090 older adults in 2019 in rural Suzhou, China.Outcome measuresAssociations of built form with odds of probable and possible depression.ResultsThere was significant difference among elders living in varied sizes of house. Older age (vs 60–64 years: 75–79 years AdjOR, 1.737; 95% CI, 1.309 to 2.305; ≥80 years AdjOR, 2.072; 95% CI, 1.439 to 2.981), male sex (AdjOR, 0.719; 95% CI, 0.593 to 0.871), single (AdjOR, 1.303; 95% CI, 1.032 to 1.646), self-care disability (AdjOR, 4.761; 95% CI, 3.960 to 5.724), three or more chronic diseases (AdjOR, 2.200; 95% CI, 1.657 to 2.920), living alone (AdjOR, 1.443; 95% CI, 1.059 to 1.966), living in cottage (AdjOR, 1.426; 95% CI, 1.033 to 1.967), living space (vs <50 m2: 201–250 m2 AdjOR, 0.566; 95% CI, 0.359 to 0.893; >250 m2 AdjOR, 0.337; 95% CI, 0.223 to 0.511) and space per person (vs <30 m2: 30- m2 AdjOR, 0.502; 95% CI, 0.362 to 0.697; 40- m2 AdjOR, 0.473; 95% CI, 0.347 to 0.646; 50- m2 AdjOR, 0.418; 95% CI, 0.339 to 0.515) were associated with risk of depression among Chinese rural elders.ConclusionThe built form was significantly and meaningfully associated with depression among Chinese rural elders. More attention should be paid to preventing mental illness among the rural elderly living in the small housing area and cottages in China.
