BACKGROUND
Since the current epidemiology of depression is not well documented in Latin America, we conducted a community-based survey study in Argentina.
METHODS
The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and a general health questionnaire were completed by 1335 adult participants, representing most of the neighborhoods of Buenos Aires.
RESULTS
Prevalence of high total BDI scores (≥13) indicating probable current clinically significant depression was 20.0% (women: 20.6%; men: 19.6%). Probable depression was associated with being unmarried and older, less educated, reporting recent stressors and significant medical illness.
LIMITATIONS
Sampling was cross-sectional and by convenience; probable depression was not verified by clinical assessment.
CONCLUSIONS
Within methodological limits, probable current clinically significant depression was highly prevalent in an urban community sample in Argentina, at rates and with risk factors similar to those found in other world regions.
背景
由于目前在拉丁美洲对抑郁症的流行病学情况记录并不充分，我们在阿根廷进行了一项基于社区的调查研究。
方法
共有 1335 名成年参与者完成了贝克抑郁量表（BDI）和一般健康问卷，这些参与者代表了布宜诺斯艾利斯的大部分街区。
结果
高总 BDI 评分（≥13）表示当前可能存在临床显著抑郁的患病率为 20.0%（女性：20.6%；男性：19.6%）。可能患有抑郁症与未婚和年龄较大、受教育程度较低、报告近期压力源和重大疾病有关。
局限性
抽样是横断面和方便的；可能的抑郁症没有通过临床评估来验证。
结论
在方法学限制范围内，在阿根廷的一个城市社区样本中，当前可能存在临床显著抑郁的患病率非常高，其发生率和风险因素与其他世界地区相似。
