本研究的目的是调查迄今为止最多的韩国人抑郁症状的患病率及其相关因素。我们分析了2009年参加韩国社区健康调查的229,595名19岁及以上的韩国成年人的横截面数据。采用流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）作为抑郁症状（CES-D评分超过16分）和明确抑郁（CES-D评分超过25分）的测量工具。进行多变量logistic回归分析以确定社会人口因素与抑郁症状之间的关联。在整个研究人群中，抑郁症状和明确抑郁的百分比分别为11%（男性7.8%，女性14.0%）和3.7%（男性2.4%，女性5.0%）。女性、年龄较大、婚姻状况不佳、受教育程度和收入水平低、多代家庭组成和居住在大都市与抑郁症状的风险较高相关。目前的研究提供了一个有效的患病率和相关的抑郁症状，使用最大的代表性样本的韩国一般人群到目前为止。在韩国，各种社会人口因素导致抑郁症状的流行和影响。
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and correlates of depressive symptoms in the largest number of Korean individuals examined to date. We analyzed cross-sectional data collected from 229,595 Korean adults aged 19 yr and above who participated in a Korean Community Health Survey conducted in 2009. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was used as the measurement tool for depressive symptoms (CES-D score over 16) and definite depression (CES-D score over 25). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify associations between sociodemographic factors and depressive symptoms. The percentages of depressive symptoms and definite depression in the total study population were 11% (7.8% for men, 14.0% for women) and 3.7%, (2.4% for men, 5.0% for women), respectively. Female gender, older age, disrupted marital status, low education and income level, multi-generational household composition and metropolitan residence were associated with greater risk of depressive symptoms. The present study provides a valid prevalence and correlates of depressive symptoms, using the largest representative sample of the Korean general population to date. Various sociodemographic factors contribute to the prevalence and effects of depressive symptoms in Korea.
