The study aims to explore patterns of anxiety-depression comorbidity among older women in China and their relationship with intergenerational ties.
Analyzed data from 20,153 older women aged 65+ using the China Aging and Health Survey (CAHS).
Depression and anxiety assessed with PHQ-9 and GAD-7 questionnaires, respectively.
Utilized Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) and multinomial logistic regression for analyses.
Identified three comorbidity profiles: low (n=13,658), moderate (n=5,762), and high (n=733).
Poor intergenerational relationships increased odds of moderate comorbidity (OR=1.079, 95% CI:1.045–1.114) and high comorbidity (OR=1.187, 95% CI:1.006–1.275) compared to the low-comorbidity group.
