- Abstract
Purpose: To understand the prevalence of depression among gay in China through Meta-analysis and to provide a scientific basis for early psychological intervention. Methods: Relevant domestic and foreign literature was searched, and the quality of the included scope was evaluated, and meta-analysis, subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were applied to stata15.0. Results: A total of 11 papers with a total sample size of 2901 were included, and the prevalence of depression among gay in China was 36.8% [95% confidence interval (CI): 33.1% to 40.5%]. In a subgroup analysis of the depression prevalence profile, the prevalence of depression was higher in high-income areas (40.1%) than in low- and middle-income areas (35%); the prevalence of depression after 2015 (40.3%) was higher than the prevalence before 2015 (34.2%). All differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Sensitivity analyses were conducted to show that the Meta-analysis results for depression prevalence were stable, and the Egger’s test and observation of the distribution across studies in the funnel plot indicated a low likelihood of publication bias. Conclusion: For the depression situation of gay in China, appropriate intervention methods should be adopted for early intervention to improve the depression situation of gay.
