Association of stressful life events with subjective age and the mediating role of depression: A cross-sectional study of older adults in China
Objective
While previous studies have examined the relationship between stressful life events (SLEs) and subjective age (SA), the results were inconclusive and the mechanisms linking the association were unclear. This study investigated whether the experience of SLEs was associated with an older SA and the potential mediating role of depression linking this association in a cross-sectional study of older adults in China.
Methods
Data were drawn from the 2018 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS), comprising 7643 participants aged 60 and older. The association between SLEs and SA was examined using multivariate linear regression, and the mediation effect of depression was evaluated.
Results
Experiencing SLEs over the past year was associated with a 0.018 increase in proportional felt age (95 % CI: 0.012, 0.024) and a 0.011 increase in proportional look age (95 % CI: 0.005, 0.016), respectively. Depression appeared to be a significant mediator, accounting for 22.2 % and 27.3 % of the association of SLEs with proportional felt age and proportional look age, respectively.
Conclusion
Findings revealed that having SLEs was associated with an older SA, partially through the pathway of depression. More attention and appropriate intervention should be given to the older adults incurring SLEs to prevent the adverse effect of older SA.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Psychosomatic Research is a multidisciplinary research journal covering all aspects of the relationships between psychology and medicine. The scope is broad and ranges from basic human biological and psychological research to evaluations of treatment and services. Papers will normally be concerned with illness or patients rather than studies of healthy populations. Studies concerning special populations, such as the elderly and children and adolescents, are welcome. In addition to peer-reviewed original papers, the journal publishes editorials, reviews, and other papers related to the journal''s aims.
