    • Abstract:
      The study aimed to assess associations between chronic diseases and incident and persistent depressive symptoms (DSs) in a cohort study of ageing adults in South Africa. Participants in the baseline survey (in 2014/2015) were 5,059 persons (≥40 years) and at follow-up 4,176 (in 2018/2019). DSs were measured with the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale. Logistic regression was used to estimate the associations between chronic conditions and incident and persistent DS. The prevalence of DS at baseline was 15.5%, incident DS (without DS and/or PTSD at baseline) was 25.1% and persistent DS (DS at both baseline and follow-up) was 4.8%. In unadjusted logistic regression analysis, diabetes had higher odds of incident DS. Participants with baseline heart attack/stroke/angina, dyslipidemia, tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis, kidney disease and three or more chronic conditions had a higher probability of persistent DS. In conclusion, of the eight chronic conditions evaluated, only diabetes (in unadjusted analysis) was associated with incident DS, and five chronic conditions (heart attack/stroke/angina, dyslipidaemia, tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis and kidney disease) and three or more chronic conditions were associated with persistent DS.
