The 12‐month prevalence and risk factors for major depressive episode in Finland: representative sample of 5993 adults
Abstract
Objective: This study reports the 12‐month prevalence of major depressive episode and its risk factors in a representative nationwide sample. Method: A random sample of non‐institutionalized Finnish individuals aged 15–75 years (N=5993) was interviewed in 1996. Major depressive episode during the last 12 months was assessed using the Short Form of the University of Michigan version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (the UM‐CIDI Short Form). Results: The population prevalence of major depressive episode was 9.3% [95% CI 8.5,10.0], and the age‐adjusted prevalences for females and males were 10.9% [95% CI 9.7,12.0] and 7.2 [95% CI 6.2,8.2], respectively. In logistic regression analyses the factors associated with major depressive episode after adjustment for age were urban residency, smoking, alcohol intoxication and chronic medical conditions. In addition, being single and obese were found to be risk factors for males. Conclusion: The female to male risk ratio for major depressive episode was smaller than in many previous studies. The sex‐specific risk factor associations warrant further investigation into sex differences in depression.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
