为了明确日本农村社区抑郁症的患病率，评估抑郁症的社会和家庭危险因素，以预防自杀为目标，对2763名老年人进行了问卷调查。确定的抑郁症状患病率（Zung 抑郁自评量表得分为 50 分或以上）为 10.4%。 Logistic回归分析显示，抑郁症状与年龄、缺乏友善伴侣、对家人感到恼怒、经常感到孤独、认为压力对生活影响很大、自杀意念以及主观身心健康状况不佳等因素有关。
To clarify the prevalence of depression in a rural community in Japan and to evaluate the social and familial risk factors for depression, with the goal of suicide prevention, a questionnaire survey was conducted on a total of 2,763 elderly persons. The determined prevalence of depressive symptoms (Zung's self-rated depression scale score of 50 points or more) was 10.4%. Logistic regression analysis showed associations between depressive symptoms and age, absence of a friendly companion, irritation with one's family, frequent loneliness, the opinion that stress has a large impact on one's life, suicide ideation, and poor subjective physical and mental health.
