Perceived neighbourhood social cohesion and depressive symptom trajectories in older adults: A 12-year prospective cohort study

Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology Jun 22, 2018

Ruiz M, et al. - Researchers aimed to model the dynamic age-related rate of change in depressive symptomatology in later life. In addition, they investigated if low perceived neighbourhood social cohesion is associated with steeper trajectories of depressive symptoms in older adults. Analysis of data on 11,037 participants aged 50+ from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing revealed that adults with low perceived social cohesion (PSC) at baseline had more depressive symptoms than age counterparts with high PSC. Consistent with the U-shaped trajectory of depressive symptoms by age, modification by age was noted in the association between PSC tertile and changes in depressive symptoms over follow-up. Widening of depressive symptom trajectories by PSC was observed as adults reach old age.
