这项研究考察了随着时间的推移，老年人抑郁症状的种族差异。研究对象为4,275名65岁及以上的社区居民（62%为黑人），他们在9年的时间里参加了芝加哥健康与老龄化项目。使用流行病学中心抑郁量表（CES-D）的10项总分测量抑郁。我们使用一般估计方程和泊松误差结构的方法对抑郁症状进行建模。我们发现在基线时有显著的种族效应，黑人报告的症状比白人多约60%（对数尺度上β = 0.467，p
This study examines racial differences in depressive symptoms among older adults over time. The subjects were 4,275 community-dwelling persons aged 65 and older (62% Black) who participated in the Chicago Health and Aging Project (CHAP) during a period of 9 years. Depression was measured using a summary score of the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale (CES-D). We modeled depressive symptoms using the method of General Estimating Equations and a Poisson error structure. We found a significant race effect at baseline with Blacks reporting approximately 60% more symptoms than Whites (beta = 0.467 on the log scale, p
