Foi realizado um estudo transversal de base populacional na cidade de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, em 2014 com o objetivo de medir a prevalência e identificar os fatores associados aos sintomas depressivos em idosos. A amostragem foi realizada por conglomerados em dois estágios. Todos os idosos (≥60 anos) residentes nos domicílios selecionados foram convidados a participar. A ocorrência dos sintomas depressivos foi medida utilizando-se a GDS-10 (Geriatric Depression Scale) com o ponto de corte ≥5. Foram obtidas informações de 1.451 idosos. A prevalência dos sintomas depressivos foi de 15,2% (IC95% 13,2-17,2). Após análise multivariável, a ocorrência de sintomas depressivos foi maior entre as mulheres, os idosos de pior situação econômica, aqueles que não trabalhavam, os fisicamente inativos, aqueles com pior autoavaliação de saúde e naqueles com incapacidade funcional. Maior atenção deve ser dada à identificação de sintomas depressivos em idosos e seus fatores associados para fundamentar políticas e planejamento de intervenções para tratamento e manejo desta doença em nível coletivo.

Abstract:
Was conducted a cross-sectional population-based study in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, in 2014 with the aim of measuring the prevalence and factors associated with depressive symptoms in the elderly. Sampling was carried out by clusters in two stages. All the elderly people (≥60 years) living in the selected households were invited to participate. The occurrence of depressive symptoms was measured using GDS-10 (Geriatric Depression Scale) with cutoff ≥5. Information of 1,451 elderly was obtained. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 15.2% (95% CI 13.2 to 17.2). After multivariate analysis, the occurrence of depressive symptoms was higher among women, the elderly worse off, those who did not work, the physically inactive, those with worse self-reported health and those with functional disability. Greater attention should be given to the identification of depressive symptoms in the elderly and their associated factors to inform policy and planning interventions for treatment and management of this disease at the collective level.
