Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the changes in depression prevalence among American adults following the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional study design was employed. Data were acquired from three cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 2017 to 2023. The 2017–2020 cycles were classified as pre-pandemic by the National Center for Health Statistics, while the 2021–2023 cycle was regarded as pandemic and post-pandemic. Adult participants aged 20 years and older with complete data from the PHQ-9 assessment were included. The prevalence of depression among American adults increased from 8.45 % pre-pandemic to 12.20 % during and after the pandemic. Stratified by age, the prevalence of depression was significantly higher during and after the pandemic compared to pre-pandemic period in 20–39 years (Prevalence: 16.56 %, P < 0.0001). Following the pandemic, the prevalence of depression among American adults has significantly increased. The most significant increase was observed in the younger age group of 20–39 years.

covid -19和抑郁症：来自NHANES的新的详细证据

本研究旨在调查2019冠状病毒病大流行后美国成年人抑郁症患病率的变化。采用横断面研究设计。数据来自2017年至2023年全国健康与营养检查调查（NHANES）的三个周期。2017-2020年周期被国家卫生统计中心列为大流行前周期，而2021-2023年周期被视为大流行和大流行后周期。年龄在20岁及以上且PHQ-9评估数据完整的成年参与者被纳入研究。美国成年人的抑郁症患病率从大流行前的8.45% %上升到大流行期间和之后的12.20% %。按年龄分层，大流行期间和大流行后20-39年的抑郁症患病率明显高于大流行前（患病率：16.56 %,P <； 0.0001）。大流行之后，美国成年人中抑郁症的患病率显著上升。最显著的增长是在20-39岁的年轻群体中观察到的。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Infection and Public Health, first official journal of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and the Saudi Association for Public Health, aims to be the foremost scientific, peer-reviewed journal encompassing infection prevention and control, microbiology, infectious diseases, public health and the application of healthcare epidemiology to the evaluation of health outcomes. The point of view of the journal is that infection and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other. The journal will be useful to all health professionals who are partners in the management of patients with communicable diseases, keeping them up to date. The journal is proud to have an international and diverse editorial board that will assist and facilitate the publication of articles that reflect a global view on infection control and public health, as well as emphasizing our focus on supporting the needs of public health practitioners. It is our aim to improve healthcare by reducing risk of infection and related adverse outcomes by critical review, selection, and dissemination of new and relevant information in the field of infection control, public health and infectious diseases in all healthcare settings and the community.
