Is the US gender gap in depression changing over time? A meta-regression

American Journal of Epidemiology Jan 13, 2021

Platt JM, Bates L, Jager J, et al. - Researchers sought to determine changes in the depression gap (higher rates of depression among women vs men) over time by age, accounting for potential sources of variation between studies via a meta-regression analysis. They searched electronic databases and bibliographies for English language studies from January 1980–October 2019. Selection criteria were met by 144 independent estimates from United States-representative samples (n = 813,189). Greater depression prevalence was reported among respondents aged 10-19 vs respondents ages 60+. Over time, there appeared to be no changes in the depression gap among adults, but it increased among adolescents (age by time interaction). Based on findings, they suggest a need for greater attention to factors driving this increasing disparity in adolescent depression.
