The study aims to evaluate the relationship between socio-economic status and depression across multiple European countries using standardized measures.
Analyzed nationally representative data from 10,800 individuals aged ≥18 in Finland, Poland, and Spain.
Identified depression using Composite International Diagnostic Interview and computed SES with education and income scores.
Employed multivariable logistic regression to assess the association between SES and depression.
Found a significant association between depression and SES across all countries (p ≤ 0.001).
For each unit increase in the SES index, the odds of depression significantly decreased in Finland, Poland, and Spain.
Higher education was linked to decreased odds for depression, whereas income levels did not show a significant impact.
