dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND: DEPRESSION HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ASSOCIATED WITH COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT IN HIGH INCOME COUNTRY POPULATIONS. HOWEVER, ITS ASSOCIATION IN THE CHILEAN POPULATION HAS NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED. AIM: TO INVESTIGATE THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN DEPRESSION AND COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT. MATERIAL AND METHODS: DATA FROM 1384 CHILEAN ADULTS AGED > 60 YEARS, PARTICIPATING IN THE NATIONAL HEALTH SURVEY 2009-2010 WAS ANALYZED. COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT WAS ASSESSED USING THE MINI MENTAL EXAMINATION SCORE. THE MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS OF DEPRESSION WAS SELF-REPORTED. THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN DEPRESSION AND COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT WAS ASSESSED USING A LOGISTIC REGRESSION. RESULTS: DEPRESSION WAS POSITIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT. HOWEVER, THE MAGNITUDE OF THE ASSOCIATION WAS HIGHER IN MEN (ODDS RATIO (OR) = 4.02 [95% CONFIDENCE INTERVALS (CI): 1.44; 6.61], P < 0.01]) THAN IN WOMEN (OR = 2.23 [95%CI: 1.03; 3.43], P = 0.04). OLDER ADULTS WHO WERE DIAGNOSED FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH DEPRESSION AFTER 65 YEARS OF AGE, SHOWED A STRONGER ASSOCIATION WITH COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT (OR = 6.65 [95% CI: 2.39; 10.9], P < 0.01) THAN THOSE DIAGNOSED BEFORE 55 YEARS. CONCLUSIONS: OUR STUDY CONFIRMS THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN DEPRESSION AND COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT. FURTHER RESEARCH IS NEEDED TO ELUCIDATE THE NATURE AND POTENTIAL MECHANISMS THAT LINK DEPRESSION WITH COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT.
