BACKGROUND
Despite recognition in the West that military veterans experience more mental health issues than the general population, little research has focused on this subject in China. This study examined the associations between male veterans' military experience and depression in China.
METHODS
A sample of 12,914 men including 669 veterans was included in the final analysis and propensity score matching, multivariable regressions and fixed effect model were used.
RESULTS
The military experience was associated with a lower likelihood of depression in male veterans. In the subgroup analysis, military experience was associated with a lower likelihood of depression among married and urban male veterans. Military experience was also associated with a lower likelihood of depression in both "junior college and above" and "below junior college" groups. In contrast, evidence was lacking regarding the associations between military experience and depression for unmarried and rural veterans.
CONCLUSIONS
Individual characteristics could influence the relationship between military experience and depression in male veterans, and the mental health of veterans should be paid more attention and guaranteed.
背景
尽管西方已经认识到退伍军人比普通人群经历更多的心理健康问题，但在中国，几乎没有针对这一主题的研究。本研究探讨了中国男性退伍军人的军事经历与抑郁之间的关联。
方法
最终分析包括了 12914 名男性，其中包括 669 名退伍军人，采用倾向评分匹配、多变量回归和固定效应模型进行分析。
结果
军事经历与男性退伍军人抑郁的可能性降低有关。在亚组分析中，军事经历与已婚和城市男性退伍军人抑郁的可能性降低有关。军事经历也与“大专及以上”和“大专以下”群体中抑郁的可能性降低有关。相比之下，对于未婚和农村退伍军人，军事经历与抑郁之间的关联证据不足。
结论
个体特征可能会影响男性退伍军人军事经历与抑郁之间的关系，退伍军人的心理健康应得到更多关注和保障。
