The longitudinal patterns of depression subtypes and stressors in depression severity in the Canadian longitudinal study on aging (CLSA).

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The current study aims to characterize the longitudinal patterns of depression subtypes and investigate the associations among the stability of depression subtypes, COVID-19-related stressors, and depression severity.

Methods

The study utilized data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, which is a national, long-term study of Canadian adults aged 45 and older (n = 12,957). Latent profile analysis was used to identify latent depression subtypes. Latent transition analysis was then applied to assess the stability of these subtypes over time. Hierarchical multivariate linear regression was used to explore the relationships among these identified depression subtypes, COVID-19-related stressors, and depression severity among males and females, respectively.
