Sociodemographic moderators of the association between functional limitations and depressive symptoms among Chinese older adults by Haijun Hao, Haijun Hao, Junyue Yue, Yeong Hun Yeo

“…IntroductionDepressive symptoms among older adults are a growing public health concern, particularly in rapidly aging populations like China. Functional limitations, commonly experienced with advancing age, have been shown to exacerbate depressive symptoms.MethodsThis study investigates the moderating effects of sociodemographic factors (including individual, familial, and society) on the association between functional limitations and depressive symptoms among Chinese older adults, using data from the 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). …”
