With the 10 question version of the
Center for Epidemiologic Study depression (CES-D) battery, we find
that in 2011/12 a high fraction of Chinese people 45 and older, both
men and women, are suffering from high levels of depressive
symptoms, with some 30% of men and 43% of women having CES-D
scores 10 and over (out of 30 as a maximum).
