Negative wealth shocks and subsequent depressive symptoms and trajectories in middle-aged and older adults in the USA, England, China, and Mexico: a population-based, multinational, and longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between negative wealth shocks and depression among middle-aged and older individuals remains unclear. Our study aimed to assess the association between negative wealth shocks and depression and its trajectories, and to explore cross-national differences in these associations.

Methods

Our sample included 21 999 participants, of which 9519 were from the Health and Retirement Study (2012-2020), 4936 from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (2012-2020), 2520 from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2011-2020), and 5024 from the Mexican Health and Aging Study (2012-2021).
