在全国健康和健康行为检查调查期间收集的全国范围内韩国成年人样本中，抑郁症症状的患病率和相关性进行了研究。3，711名受访者（回复率为81.3%）的概率样本完成了流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）和各种社会人口学问题。在该样本中，23.1%的男性和27.4%的女性在CES-D量表上的得分高于临界点16（可能的抑郁症），6.8%的男性和10.4%的女性高于临界点25（严重，明确的抑郁症）。除了少数描述非裔美国人和波多黎各人样本的报告外，这些比率略高于美国和西方国家的比率。在这份报告中，女性，少于13年的教育，婚姻破裂（丧偶/离婚/分居）被证明是严重的，明确的抑郁症症状的统计学显着预测。(C)1998爱思唯尔科学爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
The prevalence and correlates of symptoms of depression in a nationwide sample of Korean adults, collected during the National Health and Health Behavior Examination Survey, were examined. A probability sample of 3,711 respondents (a response rate of 81.3%) completed the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and a variety of sociodemographic questions. In this sample 23.1% of males and 27.4% of females had scores above the cutoff point of 16 (probable depression) on the CES-D scale, and 6.8% of males and 10.4% of females were above the cutoff point of 25 (severe, definite depression). Apart from a few reports describing Afro-American and Puerto-Rican samples, these rates were somewhat higher than those found in the US and Western countries. In this report, female gender, fewer than 13 years of education, and disrupted marriage (widowed/divorced/separated) proved to be statistically significant predictors of severe, definite symptoms of depression.
