Impacts of combined childhood exposures to poor neighborhood quality, peer friendships and family relationships on adult depression: A seven-year longitudinal study.
Journal of Affective Disorders 2023 September 16
BACKGROUND: Little is known about how multisystemic childhood exposures predict adult depression. This study aims to examine the effects of multisystemic childhood exposures on the onset and remission of adult depression.
METHODS: Data were drawn from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (CHARLS) (wave 1-4), which is a nationally representative longitudinal survey of people 45 years of age or older in China. Childhood family relationships (CFR), childhood peer friendships (CPF), and childhood neighborhood quality (CNQ) scores were recoded into binary (No = 0, Yes = 1) according to the first quantile value. Participants were divided into four groups based on the total number of poor childhood exposures (group 0-3). The generalized linear mixed model was used to test the longitudinal relationship between combined poor childhood exposures and adult depression.
RESULTS: Of the 4696 participants (55.1 % males), 22.5 % suffered from depression at baseline. The incidence of depression increased from group0 to group3 in four waves, reaching the peak in wave 2018 (incidence of group0 to group3: 14.1 %, 18.5 %, 22.8 %, 27.4 %, p < 0.001), with declining remission rates that reached its lowest in wave 2018 (50.8 %, 41.3 %, 34.3 %, 31.7 %, p < 0.001). The persistent depression rate increased from group0 to group3 (2.7 %, 5.0 %, 8.1 %, 13.0 %, p < 0.001). The risk of depression in group1 (AOR = 1.50, 95%CI: 1.27-1.77), group2 (AOR = 2.43, 95%CI: 2.01-2.94) and group3 (AOR = 4.24, 95%CI: 3.25-5.54) were significantly higher than that in group0.
LIMITATIONS: Childhood histories were collected via self-reported questionnaires, and thus recall bias was inevitable.
CONCLUSIONS: Multisystem poor childhood exposures jointly increased the onset and persistence of adult depression, as well as reduced the remission rate of depression.
