A larger percentage of those who served were in the "increasing" trajectory characterized by concerningly high depressive symptoms by midlife, underscoring the need for continued screening in depressive symptoms throughout the life course. Associations between family structure and gender on depressive symptoms support calls for conceptualizing family structure as a social determinant of health and continued investment in women's health.
