Abstract

Background

Depressive symptoms and social participation are important factors influencing the health of older persons. Further research is needed to understand the interaction between these two variables.

Method

The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and the Social Participation Questionnaire were employed to assess depressive symptoms and social participation. A latent growth model (LGM) was used to investigate changes in the trajectories of variables. The parallel process latent growth model (PP-LGM) and autoregressive cross-lagged model (ARCL) determined whether correlations existed.

Result

Older persons' depressive symptoms worsened while their level of social participation decreased. The intercept of depressive symptoms was negatively correlated with the slope of social participation(r=-0.133, p = 0.011). The slope of depressive symptoms and social participation were positively correlated(r = 0.444, p < 0.001). Depressive symptoms at earlier time points predicted later social participation(β1=-0.025, p1=0.032, β2=-0.040, p2=0.001).

Conclusion

There are dynamic changes and correlations between depressive symptoms and social participation in older persons.
