    "Background. Depression among elderly females is an important public  health concern. The present study aims at examining factors associated  with female elderly depression in three underprivileged communities in  Lebanon, one of which is almost solely inhabited by Palestinian  refugees. Methods. Four hundred and twenty-two women age 60-93 years were  interviewed. Depression was assessed using the Geriatric Depression  Scale (GDS). Results. Probable and definite depression was diagnosed in 74.5% and  29.6% of the women respectively. Following multivariate analysis,  factors significantly associated with definite depression were  Palestinian nationality, dissatisfaction with household income, lack of  physical activity, and disability. Conclusion. Findings highlight the need for greater efforts to provide a  suitable environment for exercise for elderly. Policy makers need to  improve the living conditions of the underprivileged communities in  Lebanon, particularly Palestinian refugees."
