Using data from 75,015 Medicare managed‑care enrollees over two years, we found that both men and women with persistent pain had significantly increased odds of depression after adjusting for demographic and health factors. Men showed a larger relative increase in depression risk (OR 1.93) than women (OR 1.59). These findings suggest that pain is a strong indicator of depression risk in older adults and highlight the importance of targeted depression screening when pain is reported. 000000655 540__ $$fCC BY 000000655 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000655 650__ $$aMedicare$$019885 000000655 650__ $$aPain$$023476 000000655 650__ $$aAged$$014351 000000655 650__ $$aDepression$$017614 000000655 650__ $$aManaged Care Programs$$021791 000000655 650__ $$aSelf Report$$038946 000000655 650__ $$aPain Management$$039572 000000655 650__ $$aSurveys and Questionnaires$$025037 000000655 6531_ $$aolder people 000000655 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000655 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000655 7001_ $$aJohnson, Nathan$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000655 8564_ $$96bf2dfc6-a947-4b2a-b8f4-95b6fca57fcf$$s1200027$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/655/files/656_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$21f65346ba0375b1b9453bd8cc6f4517a$$31 000000655 905__ $$a/rest/prod/2r/36/tx/54/2r36tx54r 000000655 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:655$$pstudent-work 000000655 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000655 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
