|
|
Objectives: The study aimed to identify depression-related factors in Korean adults according to age group.
Methods: This secondary data analysis used the 8th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2019. The study sample included 5,041 adults over 20 years old. Data were analyzed by frequency, ¥ö2 test and multiple logistic regression using SPSS 28.0.
Results: Factors related to depression by life cycle were employment status, perceived stress for young adults, household income, subjective health status, and perceived stress for middle-aged adults. The factors affecting older adults were gender, subjective health status, and perceived stress.
Conclusions: Factors related to depression should be considered major factors in screening at risk groups according to their life cycle. Perceived stress was particularly concerning as a significant variable related to depression in all age groups. Therefore, a depression prevention program to manage stress should be developed to relieve depression in at-risk groups.
