Abstract Objective Although research has examined associations between socioeconomic status (SES), gender, and acute chronic life stressors in depression, most studies have been conducted Western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic (WEIRD) populations. Method We addressed this issue by interviewing 65 adults (55 women, M age = 37) living Madagascar, a typical low‐ middle‐income country. Results As hypothesized, women experienced more depressive symptoms, on average, than men, as did those from lower (vs. higher) SES backgrounds. Additionally, lifetime stress exposure was associated with greater symptoms of accounting for 19% the variability symptom levels. These effects differed versus distal recent stressors. Finally, significantly mediated relation gender 24.0%–70.8% SES/gender‐depression association depending stressor type. Conclusion data extend prior describing how social stratification relate to non‐WEIRD population.

Abstract Spousal bereavement is associated with health declines and increased mortality risk, but its specific impact on physical cognitive capabilities less studied. A historical cohort study design was applied including married Tromsø participants ( N =5739) aged 50–70 years baseline self-reported overall health-related factors measured capability (grip strength, finger tapping, digit symbol coding, short-term recall) at follow-up. Participants had data from Tromsø4 (1994–1995) Tromsø5 (2001), or Tromsø6 (2007–2008) Tromsø7 (2015–2016). Propensity score matching, adjusted for confounders (and in a subset), used to investigate whether spousal poorer subsequent capability. occurred 6.2% average 3.7 (SD 2.0) before the assessment. There were no significant effects grip immediate recall, finger-tapping speed. Without adjustment coding test performance, there negative effect (ATT −1.33; 95% confidence interval −2.57, −0.10), when performance taken into account smaller subsample, using same set of matching confounders, longer any association (in subsample ATT changed −1.29 (95% CI −3.38, 0.80) −0.04 −1.83, 1.75).
