Description
Peiyi Lu and co-authors link housing troubles to low mood in middle-aged and older adults in the US. Their 2023 study follows more than seven thousand people, all aged fifty or more at the start. Data came from a long national study that ran for twelve years, with checks every four years. People told how bad their housing troubles were and how long they lasted. Mood was scored with a known scale for signs of depression.
People with housing troubles had a higher rate of low mood signs. The link grew with how bad the troubles were and how long they went on. The authors urge early, steady help for older people who face such troubles.
