Housing type and risk of depression – the mediating effects of perceived indoor annoyances and loneliness: a Danish cohort study, 2000–2018
Individuals living in certain housing types had a significantly higher IR of depression compared to individuals in owner-occupied detached houses. Our findings suggest that some of the excessed depression incidents among individuals living in rented apartments and rented terrace houses compared to detached houses could be attributed to differences in the number of perceived indoor annoyances and perceived loneliness. However, future studies are needed to confirm the findings of the present study and address other pathways and possible causations.
