After World War II and the Korean War (1950-1953), childhood war exposure is linked to higher early post-traumatic stress and depression risk, yet long-term effects remain unclear. Among 287 participants aged 55-89, multivariate and logistic regressions analyzed self-report surveys and face-to-face interviews with depressive symptoms measured by Hamilton scales and the MINI.

During the war, people experienced unwanted separation from family members and/or leaving their hometown. It is well-known that children exposed to war have a higher risk of post-traumatic stress and depression soon after. However, little is known about its long-term effects, primarily on mental health in late adulthood. This research investigates whether the generation exposed to the war in their childhood is more likely to be vulnerable to depression in late adulthood compared to other generations. Out of 287 participants aged 55 to 89 years old, 124 older adults experienced the Korean War in their childhood. Data collected via self-report surveys and face-to-face interviews with trained researchers were analyzed by multivariate regression and logistic regression. Hamilton depression rating scale and the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview were used to screen for depressive symptoms or a current major depressive episode. The results demonstrate that the older generation exposed to the Korean War in their childhood compared to others had a higher likelihood of exper∼ iencing depressive symptoms (B(SE) = -.14(.06), 95% CI = -.26 -.01, p\u003C.05) o∼r a current major  \ndepressive episode (OR = .81, 95% CI = .68 .98, p \u003C.05) in low-stress situations. Considering the higher risk of experiencing depressive symptoms and a major depressive episode in late adulthood among the generation exposed to the war, periodic screening and targeted interventions are essential to relieve stress and improve mental health for supporting their healthier aging.","cbCailGwyzh978N1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailGwyzh978N1","pdf",985041,"English","# Background\n## War exposure and long-term mental health in late adulthood\n# Methods\n## Participants and study design\n## Depression screening instruments\n## Statistical analysis\n# Results\n## Depressive symptoms and major depressive episode in low-stress situations\n# Implications\n## Screening and targeted interventions for healthier aging","[{\"question\":\"What long-term mental health question does the study address?\",\"answer\":\"Whether people who were exposed to the Korean War in childhood are more likely to develop depression in late adulthood than other generations.\"},{\"question\":\"How were depressive symptoms and current major depressive episode assessed?\",\"answer\":\"Depressive symptoms and a current major depressive episode were screened using the Hamilton depression rating scale and the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview.\"},{\"question\":\"What statistical methods were used to analyze the data?\",\"answer\":\"The researchers used multivariate regression and logistic regression to analyze survey and interview data.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the findings suggest for late-adulthood care?\",\"answer\":\"Periodic screening and targeted interventions are essential to reduce stress and improve mental health for healthier aging among the exposed generation.\"}]","CHILDHOOD EXPOSURE TO WAR AND DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS OR A CURRENT MAJOR DEPRESSIVE EPISODE IN LATE ADULTHOOD | PDF",1790634425]
