| description | The present work exposes the relationship between depression and socioeconomic conditions such as gender, economic dependence determined by the source of income and academic preparation. It is shown that depression is not only something natural that comes with age nor is it a condition that occurs alone, rather it is largely determined by the context and conditions in which older people live. The study is a quantitative investigation in the El Mango and Ejido Benito Juárez communities of Macuspana, Tabasco. 57 older adults participated in the research. The Jerome A. Yesavage and Brink 30-item test was used to assess depression, and the Folstein mini-mental test was used to assess the patients’ cognitive status. The results allowed us to observe that there is a higher prevalence of depression among women, widowers, those who depend economically on relatives and those with a lower educational level. |

El presente trabajo expone la relación entre la depresión y las condiciones socioeconómicas como el género, la dependencia económica determinada por la fuente del ingreso y la preparación académica. Se muestra que la depresión no es solo algo natural que deviene con la edad ni tampoco un padecimiento que se da en solitario, más bien es determinada en gran medida por el contexto y condiciones en que viven las personas mayores. El estudio es una investigación de carácter cuantitativo en las comunidades El Mango y el Ejido Benito Juárez de Macuspana, Tabasco. Participaron 57 adultos mayores en la investigación. Para evaluar la depresión se utilizó la prueba de 30 ítems Jerome A. Yesavage y Brink y para evaluar el estado cognitivo de los pacientes se utilizó el minimental de Folstein. Los resultados permitieron observar, que hay mayor prevalencia de depresión entre las mujeres, los viudos, quienes dependen económicamente de familiares y quienes tienen menor nivel educativo.
