Key Points

To determine the prevalence of depression and identify correlates of depressive symptoms among urban residents of Jeju Island, Korea.
Multiphasic cluster sampling was used to recruit 1050 residents across urban districts in Jeju Island, Korea, yielding 981 respondents (413 men and 568 women).
Depression (score > 25) and depressive symptoms (score > 21) were evaluated using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), with factors analyzed via multiple logistic regression.
Depression prevalence was 9.47% in men and 11.36% in women, while depressive symptoms were detected in 15.01% of men and 18.37% of women.
Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with high perceived stress (OR = 5.73, 95% CI, 1.29–25.36), problem drinking (CAGE score > 3: OR = 3.43, 95% CI, 1.77–6.66), poor sleep quality (OR = 2.11, 95% CI, 1.37–3.23), and female sex (OR = 1.70, 95% CI, 1.08–2.68).
