Abstract
Objective: We sought to provide prevalence rates of depressive symptoms in the adult population of the city of Leipzig, Germany (18 – 79 years; N = 8,861).

Methods: Data were derived from the Leipzig population-based study of adults (LIFE-ADULT-Study). The German version of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was used to assess depressive symptoms using a cut-off score ≥ 23 points.

Results: The prevalence of current depressive symptoms was 6.4 % (95 %-KI = 5.4 – 7.4). Significantly higher prevalence rates were found in females than in males, in individuals in middle age (40 – 59 years) than in younger and older adults as well as in those individuals with lower socioeconomic status (SES).

Conclusion: The study findings did not indicate a generally increased risk of depressive symptoms in urban-living adults.
Ziel: Bereitstellung von Prävalenzraten depressiver Symptomatik in der Leipziger Erwachsenenbevölkerung (18 – 79 Jahre; N = 8861).

Methodik: Ergebnisse der Leipziger Bevölkerungsstudie für Erwachsene zur Allgemeinen Depressionsskala (ADS).

Ergebnisse: Die Prävalenz aktueller depressiver Symptomatik (ADS ≥ 23 Punkte) beträgt 6,4 % (95 %-KI = 5,4 – 7,4). Weibliches Geschlecht, mittleres Erwachsenenalter und niedriger sozioökonomischer Status sind mit höheren Raten assoziiert.

Schlussfolgerung: Die Studie deutet nicht auf ein generell hohes Risiko depressiver Symptomatik bei urban lebenden Erwachsenen hin.
