| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated factors associated with recovery from depressive symptoms among older people aged 65 years or over (n=62,438). The rate of recovery was 31.6% in male and 34.3% in female, respectively. The factors associated with the recovery was walking time (30 minutes < / day) among both male and female; going out (1day < /week) in male; independence of instrumental activities of daily living in female. The rate of recovery was significantly higher in male who became better off in the past one year. However, it was lower among both sexes who experienced the followings in the past one year: falling over; suffering from serious illness; increased financial difficulties; living alone. Although some sex differences were observed, increasing walking time and the opportunities to go out might contribute to recover from depression among older people.
