ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The aim of the study was to investigate the association between mental symptoms and incident functional disability among middle-age and older adults in South Africa.METHODS:
Longitudinal data from two consecutive population surveys (2014/2015-2018/2019) in Agincourt, South Africa, were analysed.RESULTS:
In total, 298 of 3813 participants without functional disability in wave 1 (8.8%) had functional disability in wave 2. The prevalence of baseline functional disability was 9.1%. In the fully adjusted models for people without functional disability at baseline, depressive symptoms (AOR 1.74, 95% CI 1.08-2.80) among men and lower life satisfaction among men (AOR 0.86, 95% CI 0.80-0.93) and among women (AOR 0.90, 95% CI 0.83-0.98) increased the odds of incident functional disability. Posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, poor sleep quality, restless sleep, and loneliness were not significantly associated with incident functional disability.CONCLUSIONS:
Depressive symptoms among men and lower life satisfaction among both sexes were independently associated with incident functional disability in ageing rural South Africans.
