RESUMEN
Este estudio tuvo como objetivo explorar los factores asociados con síntomas depresivos en adultos mayores institucionalizados. Se realizó un estudio transversal en 276 adultos mayores de Centros de Bienestar del Anciano de Medellín. Se valoraron características demográficas, funcionales, ansiedad, salud percibida, redes de apoyo, estado nutricional y calidad de vida. Prevalencias de sintomatología depresiva fueron similares por sexo y edad (p > 0.05). Adultos dependientes para la realización de actividades cotidianas, tuvieron mayores porcentajes de síntomas de depresión (p < 0.001). Altos niveles de ansiedad (OR = 2.74), deterioro funcional (OR = 2.82), ningún grado de formación académica (OR = 3.70) y mujeres parcialmente dependientes (OR = 21.89) se asociaron con mayor probabilidad de presentar síntomas de depresión (p < 0.05). En general, perdida de roles, estado de dependencia y calidad de vida disminuida aumentan la sintomatología depresiva.

The depressive symptoms prevalence rate in the subjects was similar by sex an age (p > 0.05).

Risk of anxiety (OR = 2.74), cognitive impairment (OR = 2.82), iliteracy and women partially dependent (OR = 21.89) increased significantly the probability of depressive symptoms (p < 0.05).
