Background and Objectives : Studies on the prevalence and risk factors for depression among Bahraini elderly are sparse.
This study was undertaken to describe the socio-demographic characteristics and disease status associated with depression in Bahraini elderly persons attending health centers.
Subjects and Methods : This was a cross-sectional study of Bahrainis aged 60 or older attending four randomly selected health centers.
Results : A history of psychiatric illness was significantly associated with depression (P = 0.02, OR = 2.3, CI = 1.2-4.8), as was the presence of chronic diseases (P = 0.01).
The risk of depression was significantly higher among women than men OR = 4.3, 95 % CI = 2.5-7.3).
Depressive symptoms were significantly related to widowhood and divorce status (P < 0.001).
Subjects who were illiterate or of low educational level reported more depressive symptoms (P = 0.04).
In general, socially isolated elderly persons were more prone to suffer from depression (OR = 2.2, CI = 1.2-4.3).
Subjects who were providing support to their families reported significantly fewer depressive symptoms (P = 0.002).
Conclusion : Risk factors for depression identified in this population were : female gender, widowhood, divorce status, social isolation, a history of psychiatric illness, and the presence of chronic disease.
Early recognition and management of depression among the elderly with these factors is strongly recommended.
