Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Mental Health of Middle-Aged and Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional, Comparative Study.
Objective: To identify differences in the impact of COVID-19 on mental health in middle-aged and older adults in India.
Methods: An online web-based cross- sectional study was carried out in 8 countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study analyzed data from India (the survey was conducted between July 2020 and September 2020). The selection criteria were having internet access, residing in India, and age at least 35 years. Participants aged ≥55 years were categorized as older adults and those aged 35-54 years as middle aged. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7, and Loneliness Scale.
Results: The final analysis included 181 older adults and 321 middle-aged adults. There was a higher prevalence of depression and anxiety disorder among middle-aged adults compared to older adults. The difference was significant for depression (χ2=15.09, P<.001), but not for anxiety disorder. Logistic regression analysis found that after adjustment for sociodemographic and psychosocial variables, the presence of either depression or anxiety was significantly associated with age, perception of knowledge of COVID-19, lack of companion, feeling isolated, and feeling left out.
Conclusion: Older adults were found to have less depression and anxiety disorder compared to middle-aged adults. Loneliness and perception of knowledge about COVID-19 can affect the association between the presence of mental illness and age.
