Abstract

BACKGROUND: Older adults with chronic diseases are at higher risk of depressive symptoms than those without. For theĀ onset of depressive symptoms, the prediction ability of changes in common risk factors over a 2-year follow-up period is unclear in the Chinese older population. This study aimed to build risk prediction models (RPMs) to estimate the probability of incident 2-year depression using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS).
