I used structured questionnaires to do the direct interview for those who are illiterate or have bad eyesight.

If senior citizen have higher education level, religion, spouse and better health condition, and if they have higher living quality, average income, occupied and own a house, they are less depressed. And if senior citizen have more visits from their offspring, close ties with their offspring more visits from their relatives or more social activities, they are less depressed.
