abstract: 'Background There are few longitudinal studies investigating the risk of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
major depression by socioeconomic status (SES). In this study, data from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the longitudinal cohort of Canadian National Population Health Survey
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were used to estimate the risk of major depressive episode (MDE) over 6
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
years by SES levels.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods The National Population Health Survey used a nationally
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
representative sample of the Canadian general population. In this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analysis, participants (n=9589) were followed from 2000/2001 (baseline)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to 2006/2007. MDE was assessed using the Composite International
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Diagnostic Interview-Short Form for Major Depression.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results Low education level (OR=1.86, 95\% CI 1.28 to 2.69) and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
financial strain (OR=1.65, 95\% CI 1.19 to 2.28) were associated with an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increased risk of MDE in participants who worked in the past 12 months.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In those who did not work in the past 12 months, participants with low
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education were at a lower risk of MDE (OR 0.43, 95\% CI 0.25 to 0.76),
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
compared with those with high education. Financial strain was not
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with MDE in participants who did not work. Working men who
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reported low household income (12.9\%) and participants who did not work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and reported low personal income (5.4\%) had a higher incidence of MDE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
than others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusions SES inequalities in the risk of MDE exist in the general
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
population. However, the inequalities may depend on measures of SES, sex
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and employment status. These should be considered in interventions of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reducing inequalities in MDE. MDE history is an important factor in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
studies examining inequalities in MDE.'
