In the past decades, China's rapid economic growth has been accompanied by rapid changes in lifestyle and an increasing prevalence of mental disorders. This study explored the changes and factors associated with depression among the elderly population of China from 2011 to 2018. Data were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. The total sample size consists of 21,484 individuals aged ≥60 years, and the sample sizes in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2018 were 5081, 4853, 5207, 6343, respectively. Depressive symptoms were measured by the 10-item Short-Form developed by the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression. We found that the tendency in depression rate of the Chinese elderly from 2011 (36.8%) to 2018 (44.5%). The results showed poor health (OR = 3.553), ADL damage (OR = 2.010), multiple chronic diseases (OR = 1.287), and western (OR = 1.777) are risk factors for depression. The rate of depression of the elderly people in China has risen dramatically. Therefore, additional steps to prevent, treat and care for the affected population are needed, Mental health prevention and treatment strategies should be incorporated into China's public health policies in a timely manner to mitigate the serious economic burden caused by the increase of depression.
