Incidence of depressive symptoms and their associations with lifestyle and social support networks among community-dwelling older adults: a sex-stratified longitudinal study using the JAGES study
These findings underscore the importance of preventing depressive symptoms among older adults, particularly through the lens of gender-specific differences in lifestyle factors and social support networks associated with depressive symptoms. This study highlights the potential for developing targeted and effective primary prevention strategies by identifying modifiable determinants of depressive symptoms.
