To compare the frequencies of risk factors, we describe risks for depression as a function of race among consecutively admitted participants in a randomized clinical trial of indicated depression prevention in later life.
Seventy-two black and 143 white participants were screened for risk factors for depression.
Black participants were more likely to have fewer years of education and lower household income. They were more likely to be obese, live alone, experience functional disability, have a history of alcohol and drug abuse, and have lower scores on the Mini-mental State Examination and the Executive Interview (EXIT). White participants were not found to have greater prevalence or higher mean score on any risk factor. On average, black participants experienced approximately one more risk factor than white participants (t(213) = 3.32, p = 0.0011).
In our sample, black participants had higher frequencies of eight risk factors for depression and a greater mean number of risk factors compared to white participants.
为了比较风险因素的频率，我们根据种族描述了既定的晚年抑郁预防随机临床试验中连续入院的参与者的抑郁风险。
对 72 名黑人参与者和 143 名白人参与者进行了抑郁风险因素筛查。
黑人参与者受教育年限较少，家庭收入较低。他们更有可能肥胖、独居、功能障碍、有酗酒和吸毒史，且在迷你精神状态检查和执行访谈（EXIT）上得分较低。未发现白人参与者在任何风险因素上的患病率更高或平均得分更高。平均而言，黑人参与者经历的风险因素比白人参与者多一个左右（t(213)=3.32，p=0.0011）。
在我们的样本中，与白人参与者相比，黑人参与者的八种抑郁风险因素的发生频率更高，平均风险因素数量更多。
