Abstract
What is already known about this topic?: Depression is linked to higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality rates, but its effects on specific subgroups and non-cardiovascular mortality in the Chinese population remain unclear.
What is added by this report?: Both severe and mild to moderate depression were found to elevate mortality rates among the Chinese population. The impact was particularly notable among males, urban residents, younger individuals, and those with higher education levels. Depression exhibited a stronger connection with fatalities related to suicide and non-suicidal injuries.
What are the implications for public health practice?: Individuals experiencing mild depression require healthcare attention to avoid negative consequences. Enhanced physical and psychological support is particularly crucial for high-risk subgroups.
