n in the elderly; (2) Non-statistically significant association trends: Divorce/widowhood (OR = 2.126, 95% CI: 1.170 ~ 3.862, P =0.013), educational level of junior high school or below (OR = 1.145, 95% CI: 0.873 ~ 1.501, P = 0.327), and age ≥ 70 years (OR = 1.336, 95% CI: 0.850 ~ 2.102, P = 0.210) showed a trend toward positive association with depression risk, but the differences were not statistically significant; (3) Non-statistically significant low-risk association trends: Living alone (OR = 0.939, 95% CI: 0.417 ~ 2.116, P = 0.88) and educational level of senior high school or above (OR = 0.904, 95% CI: 0.640 ~ 1.276, P = 0.564) showed a trend toward low-risk association with depression, but the differences were not statistically significant.
