Prevalence of depressive symptoms in people aged 50 years and older: A retrospective cross-sectional study

This study supports earlier findings of a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms among older adults. The group aged 50 to 59 appears to be particularly affected. Additionally, poor physical health, greater cognitive impairment, and sex-specific factors appear to contribute to depressive symptomatology.
