摘要
In India, the world's second most populous state, an increasing proportion of its population are elderly. Older people invariably face special psychiatric challenges. In a community-based cross-sectional study, depression was found to be present in almost a third of the elderly; furthermore, low family income, poor literacy and uncertain employment status were found to be significant associations.
