Using baseline data from three partnering federally qualified health centers, we examined factors associated with depressive symptoms among Mexican-origin adults at risk of chronic disease living in three counties in Southern Arizona (i.e., Pima, Yuma, and Santa Cruz). Multivariable linear regression models identified correlates of depressive symptoms for this population controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. Among 206 participants, 85.9% were female and 49% were between 45 and 64 years of age. The proportion of depressive symptoms was 26.8%. Low levels of physical pain and high levels of hope and social support were also reported. Physical pain was positively and significantly related to depressive symptoms (β = 0.22; 95% CI = 0.13, 0.30). Conversely, hope was negatively and significantly associated with depressive symptoms (β = -0.53; 95% CI = -0.78, -0.29). A better understanding of factors related to depressive symptoms among Mexican-origin adults is necessary to fulfill their mental health needs, as well as to achieve health equity and to eliminate health disparities in the US-Mexico border region.
利用三个合作的联邦合格健康中心的基线数据，我们研究了在亚利桑那州南部三个县（皮马、尤马和圣克鲁斯）生活的有患慢性病风险的墨西哥裔成年人中与抑郁症状相关的因素。多变量线性回归模型控制了社会人口特征，确定了该人群抑郁症状的相关因素。在 206 名参与者中，85.9%为女性，49%年龄在 45 至 64 岁之间。抑郁症状的比例为 26.8%。报告还显示，身体疼痛程度低、希望和社会支持程度高。身体疼痛与抑郁症状呈正相关且显著相关（β=0.22；95%置信区间为 0.13，0.30）。相反，希望与抑郁症状呈负相关且显著相关（β=-0.53；95%置信区间为-0.78，-0.29）。为了满足墨西哥裔成年人的心理健康需求，实现美国-墨西哥边境地区的健康公平和平等，有必要更好地了解与他们抑郁症状相关的因素。
