The authors examined the relationship between marital disruption and major depressive episodes.
The analyses were based on longitudinal, community-based data from the New Haven Epidemiologic Catchment Area (ECA) program on respondents 18-60 years old. The presence and history of major depression was assessed by using the National Institute of Mental Health Diagnostic Interview Schedule.
Martial disruption was associated with higher prevalence rates of major depression in both men and women, but only men had a greater risk of a first-onset major depression. Differences between men and women in rates of major depression were observed only among married subjects.
These findings suggest that the relationship between marital disruption and major depressive episode differs for men and women. They also provide further evidence that differences between men and women in rates of depression vary by marital status.
作者研究了婚姻破裂与重度抑郁发作之间的关系。
分析基于来自纽黑文流行病学集水区(ECA)项目的纵向社区数据,该项目针对18至60岁的受访者。使用美国国立精神卫生研究所诊断访谈表评估重度抑郁症的存在情况和病史。
婚姻破裂与男性和女性中较高的重度抑郁症患病率相关,但只有男性首次发生重度抑郁症的风险更大。仅在已婚受试者中观察到男性和女性在重度抑郁症发病率上的差异。
这些发现表明,婚姻破裂与重度抑郁发作之间的关系在男性和女性中有所不同。它们还进一步证明,男性和女性在抑郁症发病率上的差异因婚姻状况而异。
