AB  - Objective: To investigate the prevalence, demographic characteristics and social 
      life function of mental disorders in the rural left behind elderly aged 60 years 
      and older in Gansu. Methods: Between November 2017 and June 2018, a multi-stage 
      stratified cluster sampling method was used to randomly select the rural left 
      behind elderly aged 60 years and older in Gansu, and totally 6 000 elderly were 
      enrolled. By using the extended general health questionnaire (GHQ-12) and the 
      American Handbook for Diagnosis and Statistics of Mental Disorders (DSM-Ⅳ) Axis Ⅰ 
      Disorders Formal Clinical Examination Patient Edition, all the included subjects 
      were screened and diagnosed. Functional status was assessed by the Global 
      Assessment Function scale (GAF). Statistical analysis of the prevalence of 
      various mental illnesses, as well as the differences in the prevalence of 
      different gender, marital status and age groups was performed. Results: Totally, 
      6 000 subjects completed the survey. The adjusted current prevalence of any 
      mental disorder was 20.11% (95%CI 17.70%-22.85%). The six most prevalent specific 
      disorders were major depressive disorder (9.20%), pain disorder (2.71%), mood 
      disorder due to the body condition (2.08%), generalized anxiety disorder (1.99%), 
      anxiety disorder not otherwise specified (1.15%) and dysthymic disorder (0.84%). 
      The lifetime prevalence of mental disorders was 20.54% (95%CI 18.40%-23.39%). The 
      overall current prevalence of mental disorders was higher in women (242.89 per thousand) than 
      in men (119.55 per thousand), and the unmarried (248.37 per thousand) was higher than those married 
      (187.53 per thousand). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of mental 
      disorders among different age groups (P>0.05). The GAF score of mental disorders 
      was 56+/-11, and 71.82% was moderate to severe functional impairment. Conclusions: 
      The prevalence of mental disorders is high in rural left-behind population aged 
      60 years and over in Gansu Province. Major depression is a condition that 
      deserves special attention.
