We examined whether childhood adversities (CAs) and late-life stressors are associated with the onset of depressive symptoms in adults aged \u2265 65 and if these early- and late-life stressors interact in the prediction of depressive symptoms.\u00a0<i>Methods:<\/i>\u00a0Data came from the 2010 and 2013 waves of the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) (<i>N<\/i>\u00a0= 8701). The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) was used to assess the presence of depressive symptoms (GDS \u2265 5). A Poisson regression analysis was used to examine associations.\u00a0<i>Results:<\/i>\u00a0Both CAs (1 event: incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 1.59, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.41-1.79; \u2265 2 events: IRR = 2.36, 95% CI = 1.80-3.10) and late-life stressful events (1 event: IRR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.02-1.25; \u2265 2 events: IRR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.05-1.50) were significantly associated with the onset of depressive symptoms. Borderline significant interactions between CAs and late-life stressors (e.g. \u2265 2 CAs and \u2265 2 late-life events: IRR = 0.61,\u00a0<i>p<\/i>\u00a0= 0.087) suggest that late-life stressors may be important in predicting the onset of depressive symptoms especially among individuals with no or fewer CAs compared to those with \u2265 2 CAs.\u00a0<i>Conclusions:<\/i>\u00a0Stressful events in childhood and late adulthood were independently associated with the onset of depressive symptoms in older adults. In addition, stressful experiences in childhood might affect how individuals respond to stressful events in later life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Keywords:\u00a0<\/strong>Depression; adverse events (AE); aging; epidemiology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We published a paper from Aging &amp; Mental Health.
