目的：扩大横断面研究，协会之间的宗教参与和6年的过程中，老年人的抑郁症状进行检查。研究方法：受试者是1,840名居住在社区的老年人（年龄在55至85岁之间），他们参加了阿姆斯特丹纵向衰老研究的三个测量周期。评估包括宗教参与，抑郁症状，身体健康，自我认知，社会融合，城市化和酒精使用等方面。结果：教会出席率与抑郁症状的过程呈负相关，也调整后的解释变量。在功能受限的受访者中，定期参加教会的人的抑郁评分较低。然而，对于丧亲或未婚的受访者来说，那些具有高水平正统信仰的人的抑郁得分略高。讨论：随着时间的推移，荷兰老年公民的教堂出席率和抑郁症状之间存在一致的负相关。研究发现，宗教参与既有缓解压力的作用，也有缓解抑郁的作用。
Objectives: Expanding on cross-sectional studies, associations are examined between religious involvement and the 6-year course of depressive symptoms in older adults. Methods: Subjects are 1,840 community-dwelling older adults (aged 55 to 85) participating in three measurement cycles of the Longitudinal Aging Study, Amsterdam. Assessments include aspects of religious involvement, depressive symptoms, physical health, self-perceptions, social integration, urbanization, and alcohol use. Results: Church attendance is negatively associated with the course of depressive symptoms, also after adjustment for explanatory variables. Among respondents with functional limitations, lower depression scores are found for those who attend church on a regular basis. For respondents who are bereaved or nonmarried, however, slightly higher depression scores are found for those with high levels of orthodox beliefs. Discussion: There is a consistent negative association over time between church attendance and depressive symptoms in older Dutch citizens. Both stress-buffering as well as depression-evoking effects of religious involvement are found.
