Article Synopsis
- Mental disorders, particularly depression, significantly impact public health in low- and middle-income countries, affecting around 80% of the population.
- A cross-sectional study in Brazil analyzed data from the 2019 National Health Survey to identify factors associated with depression in adults, focusing on socioeconomic, lifestyle, and demographic variables.
- The findings revealed that factors such as age, race, sex, self-reported health, certain health conditions, and lifestyle behaviors were linked to depression, suggesting that targeted public health strategies are needed to address these issues.
