The aim of this study was to estimate the longitudinal associations with healthy ageing as well as its association with mortality in a national sample in Thailand. The analytic sample consisted of 2585 participants (≥45 years) in four study assessments in 2015, 2017, 2020, and 2022. The distribution of the healthy ageing components at baseline was 93.

- The study examines factors influencing depressive symptoms in individuals aged 80 and older, using data from a Thailand longitudinal study.
- It analyzed 2,763 observations over four years, finding that greater functional disability and more chronic health conditions are associated with worse depressive symptoms, while better self-rated health and increased exercise help improve mood.
- The research emphasizes the importance of strategies focused on reducing disability and chronic conditions, promoting physical activity, and enhancing perceived economic status to alleviate depressive symptoms in older adults.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how common meal-skipping is among middle-aged and older adults in Thailand and what factors contribute to it over time.
- The researchers analyzed data from 2,863 participants aged 45 and older across three waves of the Health, Aging and Retirement in Thailand (HART) study, measuring meal-skipping and its associations with various sociodemographic and health factors.
- Findings showed that meal-skipping increased over the study years, particularly at lunch, and was linked to factors like higher education, urban living, smoking, and obesity, as well as a higher risk of depression and obesity for those who skipped meals regularly.*
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the longitudinal association between loneliness, mental and physical ill-health indicators, lifestyle factors and mortality among middle-aged and older adults in Thailand.
Methods: We analyzed prospective cohort data of participants 45 years and older from three consecutive waves in 2015 (n = 5616), 2017 (n = 3600), and in 2020 (n = 2863) of the Health, Aging and Retirement in Thailand (HART) study. Loneliness was assessed with a single item.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the longitudinal association between marital status, marital transition, mental ill-health, and health risk behaviours among middle-aged and older adults in Thailand.
Methods: We analyzed prospective cohort data of participants 45 years and older from three consecutive waves in 2015, 2017, and in 2020 (analytic sample, n = 2863) of the Health, Aging and Retirement in Thailand (HART) study. Sociodemographic and health variables were assessed by self-report.
Background: There are no longitudinal studies investigating determinants of incident and persistent depressive symptoms in Southeast Asia.
Aims: To estimate the proportion and correlates of incident and persistent depressive symptoms in a prospective cohort study among middle-aged and older adults (≥45 years) in Thailand.
Method: We analysed longitudinal data from the Health, Aging, and Retirement in Thailand (HART) surveys in 2015 and 2017.
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to assess the bidirectional association between multimorbidity (MM) and probable depression in a longitudinal study in Thailand.
Methods: We analyzed longitudinal data of participants 45 years and older from two consecutive waves (in 2015 and 2017) of Health, Aging, and Retirement in Thailand (HART). Probable depression was assessed using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the bidirectional association between multimorbidity (MM) and functional disability among middle-aged and older adults in a longitudinal study in Thailand.
Methods: We analyzed longitudinal data of participants aged 45 years and older from two consecutive waves (in 2015 and 2017) of the Health, Aging, and Retirement in Thailand (HART). Functional disability was assessed with a 4-item activity of daily living (ADL) scale.

The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors of successful ageing (SA) among people 50 years and older in Thailand. We analyzed national cross-sectional data (5092 men and women 50 years or older) from the Health, Aging and Retirement in Thailand (HART) study in 2015. The SA measures included (1) life satisfaction, (2) social engagement, (3) no major illness, (4) no probable depression, and (5) absence of functional disability.
