Objectives:Neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) can be associated with depression. We aimed to assess prevalence of depression amongst community-dwelling elderly in a multiethnic, urban, low-SES, Asian neighborhood, comparing against a higher SES neighborhood.Method:The study population involved all residents aged ≥60 years in two Singaporean housing estates comprising owner-occupied public housing (higher SES) and public rental housing (low SES) in 2012. Having lifetime prevalence of depression was defined as having a score ≥5 on the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 or a history of depression. Demographic/clinical details were collected via questionnaire. Those with depression were referred to local polyclinics. Multilevel multivariate logistic regression determined predictors of depression and depression screening.Results:Participation was 61.5% (559/909). In the low-SES community, 26.2% (104/397) had depression, compared with 14.8% (24/162) in the higher SES community. After adjusting for other sociodemographic variables, staying in a low-SES community (public rental housing) was independently associated with depression [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.68, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.02–2.84]. Within the low-SES community, not being married (aOR = 2.27, CI = 1.35–3.70), falls (aOR = 2.72, CI = 1.59–4.67), visual impairment (aOR = 2.37, CI = 1.28–4.39), and poorer social network (aOR = 3.70, CI = 1.96–7.14) were associated with depression.Conclusion:Residing in a low-SES community was independently associated with depression after controlling for individual SES.
