- Abstract
Objective. To estimate the prevalence of depressive symptomatology in Mexican adolescents and adults. Materials and methods. The Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición 2022 evaluated the prevalence of depressive symptomatology using the CESD-7 scale. In adolescents, we estimated the average score, and in adults the prevalence of depressive symptomatology according to preestablished cut-off points. Results. In adolescents the average score was 3.2. In adults, 16.7% had depressive symptomatology, with a higher prevalence in older adults (38.3%). We observed a higher prevalence among women, adults in the low well-being index, and older adult residents of rural areas. Conclusion. The prevalence of depressive symptomatology among adults has been stable from 2018-19 to date. However, the diagnosis and treatment of depression must be oriented to populations with a higher prevalence like women, adults with low well-being index, and residents of rural areas.
