Socioeconomic status, perceived family support and psychological distress in older Kenyans: a cross-sectional study
The findings illuminate that psychological distress is a critical health concern for the sample and needs targeted health interventions. They also underline the essential role of economic status in the psychological distress of older Kenyans. Future studies should explore these relationships using longitudinal, family-level, and representative data.
