Association of workforce participation with depression among US older adults: results from NHANES 2005-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The challenges of global aging would boost more workforce participation of older adults, and depression rate was increasing among older adults. This study aimed to explore the associations of workforce participation with depression among US older adults.

Methods

This cross-sectional study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2018. Depression was measured with Patient Health Questionnaire-9 items (PHQ-9). Workforce participation was measured with work status, work types, shift work, and hours worked per week. Multivariate generalised linear and logistic regression models, also with restricted cubic spline (RCS) were performed to examine linear or non-linear associations between workforce participation and depression.
