Abstract
Summary China has an increasing ageing population. Depression, as one of the most common problems in older people, is a concern that merits attention. This paper reviewed published studies of the prevalence of depression and its related factors in older people in China. Seventeen papers were identified by searching the following electronic databases: Web of Science, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, China Academic Journal and VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals. Whilst prevalence varied across studies, health status, social support, financial status, living arrangements and some demographic factors were consistently related to older people’s depression. Further well-designed studies are needed to explore depression in older people in China to identify more culture-specific contributors to maximize
中国人口老龄化日益严重。抑郁症作为老年人最常见的问题之一，是一个值得关注的问题。本文综述了已发表的有关中国老年人抑郁症患病率及其相关因素的研究。检索Web of Science、PsycINFO、MEDLINE、PubMed、CINAHL、China Academic Journal和VIP中文科技期刊数据库，共收录17篇论文。虽然各研究的患病率各不相同，但健康状况、社会支持、经济状况、生活安排和一些人口因素始终与老年人的抑郁症有关。需要进一步精心设计的研究来探索中国老年人的抑郁症，以确定更多的文化特异性因素，以最大限度地发挥作用
