We examined the factor structure of the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRS-D) in 206 community-dwelling elderly patients. Using principal components analysis and quartimax rotation, a four-factor structure involving all 17 items and accounting for 57.7% of the variance was desired. The factors represented the following dimensions of depressive symptomatology and illness: depressed affect, vegetative symptoms, anxiety, and agitation/insight. This factor structure reflects the presentation of depressive symptomatology and depressive illness in this population. Findings suggest that the HRS-D can be used for clinical assessment of depressive symptomatology along major dimensions of depressive illness in community-dwelling elderly.
我们对206名社区老年患者的17项汉密尔顿抑郁量表（HRS-D）的因子结构进行了研究。采用主成分分析和四次最大旋转法，期望得到一个包含所有17个项目、解释57.7%方差的四因子结构。这些因子代表了抑郁症状和疾病的以下维度：情绪低落、躯体症状、焦虑以及激越/自知力。这种因子结构反映了该人群中抑郁症状和抑郁疾病的表现。研究结果表明，HRS-D可用于社区老年抑郁疾病主要维度的抑郁症状的临床评估。
