Gender differences in resources related to depressive symptoms during the early years of retirement: A Swedish population‐based study

International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry Jul 01, 2020

Hed S, Berg AI, Hansson I, et al. - This study was sought to evaluate levels of depressive symptoms during the early years of retirement in men and women and to analyze potential gender differences in associations with self‐reported health, financial insecurity, social network, and psychological resources. Researchers collected data from the first wave in the Health, Aging, and Retirement Transitions in Sweden‐study including a total sample of 1,148 retirees, aged 60‐66. They evaluated the level of depressive symptoms and correlations with health, financial insecurity, social network, and psychological resources in regression analyses in the total sample and in bivariate correlation analyses in the subgroup at risk of depression as characterized by a cut‐off ≥ 9 on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. The study found similar levels of depressive symptoms in women and men in the retirement transition. Nevertheless, it was considered that the relevance of the selected resources may be greater in men. A study on the management of depressive symptoms in the transition between midlife and aging requires taking gender into consideration.
