Popis: | Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the association of household debt and depressive mood among Chinese adults and to evaluate whether the association varies across types of debt. Study design This is a secondary data analysis of a nationally representative survey. Methods A prospective cohort study of participants was drawn from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS). In total, 5135 participants had their depressive mood measured in the CFPS starting from 2014 to 2016 and had participated in the biennial survey. We used logistic regression models to identify predictors of depressive mood with debts, sociodemographic factors, health status factors and health behaviors factors. Adjusted for all measured covariates, we conducted an independent analysis for the experience of housing loans from formal institutions (HLFI), other loans from formal institutions (OLFI), housing loans from relatives and friends (HLRF) and other loans from relatives and friends (OLRF). Results Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that household debt was a significant risk factor for depressive mood (1.35; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19–1.54), after controlling for potential confounders. Independent analysis revealed that HLFI was not a significant predictor, while HLRF (1.26; 95% CI, 1.08–1.48), OLFI (1.45; 95% CI, 1.13–1.87) and OLRF (1.23; 95% CI, 1.02–1.47) remained significant risk factors. Conclusion OLFI, HLRF and OLRF were associated with depressive mood, while HLFI was not. To address the problem of individual depressive mood, its apparent association with household debt should be paid more attention. |
