In older adults, depression symptoms may be masked by physical complaints and be even attributed to the natural aging process, which may be resulted in improper diagnosis. Native-language scales can be highly effective in the detection of depressive disorders. In this study we attempted to assess the reliability and validity of the Azeri Turkish version of the geriatric depression scale (GDS). In this psychometric study, the GDS and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM IV(SCID) questionnaires were administered to a sample of 387 older adults (60 years and older)from the member households of Tabriz health centers. The English version of GDS was translated into Azeri Turkish. Translation-back translation process was conducted. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, as well as sensitivity and specificity, were used to determine the validity of the questionnaire, and the test-retest method was used to calculate reliability. The mean age of participants was 69.30. The area under the ROC curve for the scores higher than five was 0.832 and for the scores equal to ten and above was 0.871. The sensitivity and specificity for the scores higher than five were 90.9% and 73.4%, respectively. The reliability of this scale was confirmed based on intraclass coefficient (ICC) = 0.79. : The Azeri Turkish version of GDS was found with appropriate levels of validity and reliability.
在老年人中，抑郁症状可能会被身体不适所掩盖，甚至被归因于自然衰老过程，这可能导致诊断不当。母语量表在检测抑郁症方面可能非常有效。在本研究中，我们试图评估阿塞拜疆土耳其语版老年抑郁量表（GDS）的信度和效度。在这项心理测量学研究中，对大不里士健康中心会员家庭中的387名老年人（60岁及以上）样本进行了GDS和《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版（DSM-IV）结构化临床访谈问卷的施测。GDS的英文版被翻译成阿塞拜疆土耳其语，并进行了回译。采用受试者工作特征（ROC）曲线以及敏感性和特异性来确定问卷的效度，采用重测法计算信度。参与者的平均年龄为69.30岁。得分高于5分的ROC曲线下面积为0.832，得分等于10分及以上的ROC曲线下面积为0.871。得分高于5分的敏感性和特异性分别为90.9%和73.4%。基于组内系数（ICC）=0.79，该量表的信度得到了证实。发现阿塞拜疆土耳其语版GDS具有适当水平的效度和信度。
