AB  - BACKGROUND: Previous studies show conflicting results on the role of weak sense 
      of coherence (SOC) as a risk factor for depression. AIMS: The aim of this work 
      was to study whether a weak SOC predicts depressive symptoms in a non-depressive 
      population sample in the short or long perspective. METHOD: Participants without 
      depressive symptoms (n = 1645) in the Finnish sample of the Outcomes of 
      Depression International Network (ODIN) study were assessed at 1-year and 9-year 
      follow-up. Depressive symptoms were assessed by the Beck Depression Inventory 
      (BDI), and SOC by the 13-item Orientation to Life Questionnaire (SOC-13). 
      Logistic regression analysis was used to test the association between baseline 
      SOC and depressive symptoms measured at the follow-ups. RESULTS: In univariate 
      analysis, there was a significant inverse association between baseline SOC and 
      depressive symptoms at 1 year (p = 0.000) and at 9 years (p = 0.000). In 
      multivariate analysis, weak SOC continued to predict depressive symptoms at 1 
      year (p = 0.022) and 9 years (p = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS: Weak SOC predicted 
      depressive symptoms in the short and long perspective. It seems likely that a 
      strong SOC represents a protective function, not only absence of current 
      depression.
