摘要：

A study was conducted in the greater Houston area in the United States with 1840 Asian American participants where 413 (22.5%) were 55years and older and 12.6percent had depressive symptoms. Logistic regression analysis found that the likelihood of being depressed was significantly increased among individuals with anxiety symptoms (odds ratio (OR)=769.36), at least a high school education (OR=21.756), a greater number of generations living in the household (OR=3.789), and chronic pain (OR=2.604). Conversely, being married reduced the likelihood of being depressed by 89.5percent (OR=.105). Implications focus on help-seeking behaviors of older Asian Americans in relation to their mental health needs.
