Prevalence of Mental Health Disorders among Elderly Diabetics and Associated Risk Factors in Indonesia.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This cross-sectional study aimed to explore mental health disorders (MHD) prevalence among elderly diabetics in Indonesia. Data were extracted from the 2018 national basic health survey in Indonesia (abbreviated as RISKESDAS). The survey involved households randomly selected from 34 provinces, 416 districts, and 98 cities in Indonesia, with 1,017,290 respondents. The number of subjects selected in this study was 2818 elderly diabetic subjects. MHD was determined by self-reporting assessment. Secondary data acquired from RISKESDAS 2018 data involved age, sex, urban-rural residence status, marital status, educational level, employment status, obesity, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, family history of MHD, and DM duration. Binary logistic regression with a backward stepwise method was used to analyze the risk factors related to MHD. MHD prevalence among elderly diabetics in Indonesia was 19.3%. Factors associated with MHD among elderly diabetics were being female (prevalence odds ratio (POR) = 1.64; 95% CI: 1.126-2.394), married (POR = 0.05; 95% CI: 0.031-0.084), less education (POR = 3.37; 95% CI: 1.598-10.355), and stroke (POR = 1.61; 95% CI: 1.183-2.269). MHD prevalence among elderly diabetics in Indonesia was 19.3%, suggesting that screening for psychological problems and educating elderly diabetic patients is essential. Unmarried female elderly diabetics with less education and stroke were altogether more likely to experience MHD.
