In the German Health Interview and Examination Survey (DEGS1), current depressive symptoms were assessed with the "Patient Health Questionnaire" (PHQ-9) in a representative population-based sample of 7,988 adults 18-79 years old. In addition, previously diagnosed depression was assessed by physician interview. The prevalence of current depressive symptoms (PHQ-9 ≥ 10 points) is 8.1 % (women: 10.2 %; men: 6.1 %). For both sexes, the prevalence is highest among 18- to 29-year-olds and decreases with age. Persons with higher socioeconomic status (SES) are less likely to have current depressive symptoms. The lifetime prevalence of diagnosed depression is 11.6 % (women: 15.4 %; men: 7.8 %) and is highest among persons 60-69 years old. The 12 month prevalence is 6.0 % (women: 8.1 %; men: 3.8 %) and is highest among 50- to 59-year-olds. In women, but not in men, prevalences decrease with increasing SES. The results describe the distribution of two important aspects of depression among the adult population in Germany and confirm previously observed associations with age, gender and SES.

在德国健康访谈与检查调查(DEGS1)中,采用“患者健康问卷”(PHQ - 9)对7988名18至79岁具有代表性的成年人群样本进行了当前抑郁症状评估。此外,通过医生访谈评估了既往诊断的抑郁症情况。当前抑郁症状(PHQ - 9≥10分)的患病率为8.1%(女性:10.2%;男性:6.1%)。对于两性而言,患病率在18至29岁人群中最高,并随年龄增长而降低。社会经济地位(SES)较高的人出现当前抑郁症状的可能性较小。已诊断抑郁症的终生患病率为11.6%(女性:15.4%;男性:7.8%),在60至69岁人群中最高。12个月患病率为6.0%(女性:8.1%;男性:3.8%),在50至59岁人群中最高。在女性中,患病率随SES升高而降低,但在男性中并非如此。这些结果描述了抑郁症的两个重要方面在德国成年人群中的分布情况,并证实了之前观察到的与年龄、性别和SES的关联。本文的英文全文版本可在SpringerLink上作为补充材料获取。
