We collected the information on 27 chronic conditions through the self-reported medical history and used the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) short form to evaluate depressive symptoms. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to evaluate the relationship between multimorbidity and depressive symptoms.Results: Five thousand two hundred and ninety-six participants were included into the current study, among which 2687 (50.74%) were female, with the mean ± SD age 72.0 ± 8.1 years old. The overall prevalence of depressive symptoms in eastern China was 23.5%. And the percentage of multimorbidity in depressed participants was higher compared with non-depressed participants (50.8% vs 38.8%, P<0.001). The univariate model and adjusted model suggested that participants with multiple chronic diseases were more likely to have a depressive symptom (adjusted OR=1.42; 95% CIs 1.19–1.70).Conclusion: Depressive symptom was significantly associated with multimorbidity among the community-dwelling elderly population in eastern China.Keywords: depressive symptom, multimorbidity, social health, eldersYou LYu ZZhang XWu MLin SZhu YXu ZLu JWei FTang MWang JJin MChen KDove Medical Pressarticledepressive symptommultimorbiditysocial healtheldersGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 14, Pp 2273-2280 (2019)
