AB - This study utilized the data from 2017, 2019 Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey to analyze the association between living status (i.e., Living alone or Other) with depression and suicidal ideation. Of the 2,042 participants included in the study, compared to the people in the Other category, the prevalence of depression for those living alone was 2.353 times (OR[Odds ratio]: 2.353, p-value: 0.016) higher, and 2.811 times (OR: 2.811, p-value: 0.018) higher in the 50 years old or older population. As such, living alone could aggravate the risk of mental problems, particularly in the middle aged and older population.
In this age cohort, the lack of human or materialistic support, when coping with various difficulties, strengthens a sense of isolation, which then could lead to solitary death as well as suicidal behaviors. Hence, it is necessary to consider this issue in a more comprehensive way and secure various social support systems.
