Depressive symptoms and their influencing factors among older adults in China: a cross-sectional study
The prevalence of depressive symptoms among older adults is high in Anhui Province, China. Frailty, social frailty, and poor family health are associated with higher prevalence of depressive symptoms in older adults. Public health departments should pay more attention to the construction of mental health protection in the three environmental contexts of individual, family and society to promote healthy aging.
