A group of researchers conducted a study examining data from long-term cancer survivors to determine the prevalence of late-onset depression and its association with social and economic vulnerability. The results revealed a strong link between socioeconomic status and the risk of developing depression later in life. The study also highlighted the impact of social and economic factors on the mental health of this specific group. According to 'ABC News', a recent study published in the 'JAMA Network Open' journal has uncovered a connection between social and economic vulnerability and late-onset depression, particularly among long-term cancer survivors. Late-onset depression refers to the emergence of depressive symptoms in individuals at a later stage.
