The depression prevalence of male aged (74.3%) was significantly lower than woman (84.4%). The results of multiple regression analysis suggest that age, level of satisfaction on one's present standard of living, and self-rating physical state are significantly related with male aged.

The women aged depression level was related to education, level of satisfaction on one's present standard of living, self-rating physical state, and last 15 days illness. The women was more depressed when one's level of education is lower, more unsatisfied on present standard of living, rated one's physical state poorer, and was sick during last 15 days.
The high depression prevalence of aged living at agriculture and fishing village suggests that a concrete and resonable solution is needed, and moreover, as the level depression is related with economical and physical problems, these factors must be in.
