Abstract
This study examined the gender-specific association between stroke status and depression in South Korea. A total of 5,746 men and 7,608 women aged ¡Ã30 years who participated in the 2014, 2016, and 2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were included in the analysis. The cross-sectional surveys targeted the general population consisting of nationally representative adults (¡Ã19 years) residing in Korea. A 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire score of 10 or more was regarded as depression. A higher risk of depression in stroke survivors compared to the non-stroke population was not observed in men (odds ratio [OR], 1.51; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 0.82-2.81), while it was observed in women (OR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.64-3.77). Compared to non-stroke women, women stroke survivors with a younger age at diagnosis (£¼60 years) (OR, 4.05; 95% CI, 2.28-7.20) and stroke with duration of ¡Ã10 years (OR, 3.12; 95% CI, 1.63-5.97) had a higher risk for depression. Gender aspects should be more intensively considered in the association between stroke status and depression in community settings.
