Abstract

|
|
Objectives： This study was intended to examine the prevalence and correlates of major depressive disorder and dysthymic disorder in a nationwide community sample of Korean adults using data from the Korean Epidemiologic Catchment Area(KECA) study.
Methods： Data were derived from 6,275 household residents over 18 to 64 years of age who responded to KECA survey in 2001. Prevalence and correlates were estimated using Korean-Composite International Diagnostic Interview version 2.1(K-CIDI).
Results： The overall weighted prevalence of major depressive disorder was 4.3%/1.6%/1.1%(lifetime/12 months/1 month). Mean onset age of major depressive disorder was 32.6 years old. The overall weighted prevalence of dysthymic disorder was 0.5%/0.4%/0.3%(lifetime/12 months/1 month). Mean onset age of dysthymic disorder was 35.8 years old. The significant correlates of major depressive disorder were female, being unemployed, 50-59 years of age, disrupted marriage, rural habitats, and recent cohorts. That of dysthymic disorder was female only.
Conclusion： The prevalence of major depressive disorder may be increasing. And it is different from other coun-tries that rural habitats and fifties are vulnerable to major depressive disorder.
