Resumen
CARO-MURIEL, Cristina et al. Childhood disorders and sociodemographic characteristics associated with depression in adults from a Colombian city. Univ. Salud [online]. 2023, vol.25, n.1, pp.1-6. Epub 31-Ene-2023. ISSN 0124-7107. https://doi.org/10.22267/rus.232501.289.
Introduction:
Emotional and behavioral disorders that begin in childhood lead to adult changes, which have social consequences.
Objective:
To determine the association of adult depression with childhood onset of mental disorders and other factors in Envigado (Colombia).
Materials and methods:
A quantitative observational and cross-sectional study was carried out. The sample size was 737 individuals aged between 18 to 65 years. The CIDI-CAPI instrument of the WHO was used. Data processing and analysis was conducted through SPSS v. 21 software from the CES University and Epidat 4.2.
Results:
The percentage of depression in adults was 10.8%. This figure was 5.6 times greater in the study population that had history of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared to individuals who did not have this disorder (OR= 6.62; 95% CI 1.92-22.7).
Conclusions:
Childhood ADHD increases the probability of depression in the adult population of Envigado, which supports the importance of promoting mental health programs in children in order to prevent adulthood depression.
