Methods A total of 109 elderly people participated in this study. Trained examiners evaluated the general characteristics and symptoms of the subjects.

According to results of logistic regression analysis,in terms of demographic variables, the odds ratio of elementary school dropout compared with elementary school graduates was 3.60, after adjusting for age and sex. Thus, we found that elementary school dropout was associated with an increased risk of prevalence of depression. Conclusion This is the first study of prevalence of depressive disorder in a primary health care center in Korea. Results of this study confirm that the prevalence of depressive disorder is two times higher among adults in the Chungju community. In addition, the level of education was also highly related.
