Variability of the prevalence of depression in function of sociodemographic and environmental factors: ecological model 2018 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Major depression etiopathogenesis is related to a wide variety of genetics, demographic and psychosocial factors, as well as to environmental factors. The objective of this study is to analyze sociodemographic and environmental variables that are related to the prevalence of depression through correlation analysis and to develop a regression model that explains the behavior of this disease from an ecological perspective. This is an ecological, retrospective, cross-sectional study. The target population was 1,148,430 individuals over the age of 16 who were registered in Aragon (Spain) during 2010, with electronic medical records in the community’s primary health care centers. The spatial unit was the Basic Health Area (BHA). The dependent variable was the diagnosis of Depression and the ecological independent variables were: Demographic variables (gender and age), population distribution, typology of the entity, population structure by sex and age, by nationality, by education, by work, by salary, by marital status, structure of the household by number of members, and state of the buildings. The results show moderate and positive correlations with higher rates of depression in areas having a higher femininity index, higher population density, areas with a higher unemployment rate and higher average salary. The results of the linear regression show that aging +75 and rural entities act as protective factors for depression, while urban areas and deficient buildings act as risk factors. In conclusion, the ecological methodology may be a useful tool which, together with the statistical epidemiological analysis, can help in the political decision making process. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII/PS09-01378 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/B21-17R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 2.129 2018 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 40 / 137 = 0.292 2018 Q2 T1 0.997 2018 Psychology (miscellaneous) 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0001-6565-9699 Oliván-Blázquez, B.
