Data from the ENSANUT 2012 survey (Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública, 2012), taking a cut-off point of 7≥9 of the Center of Epidemiological Studies of Depression Scale (CES–D) (Radloff, 1977), shows that the prevalence of clinically significant depressive symptoms is estimated at 22.7% (95% CI 16.5-28.9) of women and 8.3% (95% CI 3.3-13.2) of men. Looking at these data by age group, it shows that 14.7% (95% CI 10.3-19.1) adults aged 20-59 years, and 26.8% (95% CI 15.2-38.4%) adults aged 60 years and older experience clinically significant symptoms of depression (Salinas-Rodríguez et al., 2013).
