To examine birth cohort differences in depressive symptoms and life satisfaction in older men and women and the mechanisms underpinning the possible cohort differences. Two independent cohorts of Finnish men and women aged 75 and 80 were assessed in 1989-1990 ( = 617) and 2017-2018 ( = 794). They reported their depressive symptoms (CES-D), current life satisfaction, and evaluation of life until now. The later-born cohort reported fewer depressive symptoms (8.6 ± 7.1 vs. 13.9 ± 8.3) and the differences were similar for the subdomains of depressive symptoms. The later-born cohort was more often mostly satisfied with life until now (90 vs. 70%) but not with the current life than the earlier-born cohort. Better self-rated health and education of the later-born cohort partly explain the cohort differences. Older people in Finland report fewer depressive symptoms and they are more satisfied with their past life compared to their counterparts assessed 28 years ago.
目的：探讨老年男性和女性抑郁症状和生活满意度的出生队列差异，以及潜在的队列差异的机制。
方法：本研究纳入了芬兰的两个独立队列的 75 岁和 80 岁的男性和女性，分别于 1989-1990 年（n=617）和 2017-2018 年（n=794）进行评估。他们报告了自己的抑郁症状（CES-D）、当前的生活满意度和对过去生活的评价。较晚出生的队列报告的抑郁症状较少（8.6±7.1 vs. 13.9±8.3），且在抑郁症状的各个亚领域差异相似。较晚出生的队列现在对生活的满意度更高（90% vs. 70%），但不如较早出生的队列对当前生活的满意度高。较晚出生队列的自评健康状况和教育程度较好，在一定程度上解释了队列差异。
结论：与 28 年前评估的同龄人相比，芬兰的老年人报告的抑郁症状较少，对过去的生活更满意。
