Abstract

Background:Little information exists about the association between alcohol and tobacco use and self-reported depressed mood, such as feeling sad, blue, or depressed days (SBDD), among older adults in IndiaAim:The aim of this study was to examine the association between alcohol and tobacco use and self-reported depressed mood with SBDD among older adults in India.Methods:This study uses the Longitudinal Aging Study India (LASI) Wave 1 dataset of 10,487 respondents identified with self-reported mood disorders with SBDD. Descriptive statistics, bivariate, and multivariate models were performed.Results:In total, 19.7% of persons above 45 years of age experienced SBDD for 2 weeks during the last 12 months. Compared to nonusers, those who used tobacco or alcohol reported higher symptoms of SBDD. Several factors related to alcohol (e.g., illicit alcohol) and tobacco (e.g., smokeless tobacco) indicate a statistically significant association with the prevalence of prolonged sadness or depression.Conclusion:Analysis of LASI Wave 1 shows that lifestyle choices such as alcohol and tobacco use play a role in the burden and association of negative emotions such as SBDD among older adults in India.

印度老年人自我报告的抑郁情绪与使用酒精或烟草的关系：基于印度老龄化纵向研究第 1 波的研究

背景：关于印度老年人使用烟酒与自我报告的抑郁情绪（如感到悲伤、忧郁或沮丧天数（SBDD））之间的关系的信息很少。方法：本研究使用了印度纵向老龄化研究（LASI）第1波数据集，该数据集包含10487名自我报告有SBDD情绪障碍的受访者。结果显示：在过去 12 个月中，共有 19.7% 的 45 岁以上老年人经历过 2 周的 SBDD。与不吸烟者相比，吸烟或酗酒者的 SBDD 症状更严重。与酒精（如非法酒精）和烟草（如无烟烟草）相关的几个因素表明，它们与长期悲伤或抑郁的发生率有显著的统计学关联。结论：对 LASI 第 1 波的分析表明，酒精和烟草的使用等生活方式的选择在印度老年人 SBDD 等负面情绪的负担和关联中起着一定的作用。
