ABSTRACT Background. This study into the physical and mentalhealth of elderly Chinese living in older urban districts of Hong Kongwas done to ascertain their need for social services. Health status andits links to support from family and friends, daily habits, source ofincome, and usage of social services were determined. Methods. Eld-erly people aged 60 years or above, living in two older urban districts ofHong Kong (Sham Shui Po and Hung Hom), were interviewed usingabbreviated versions of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) andthe General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Results. A total of 468elderly people were interviewed and 397 sets of questionnaires werecompleted and analysed. Compared with their counterparts living inother areas, elderly Chinese living in older urban districts of Hong Kongwere at higher risk of suffering from poor mental health due to theirrelatively deprived social conditions. Depression among the respon-dents correlated significantly with their social conditions, including theircohabitants, type of housing, financial status, and family support.Conclusion. More resources are needed to provide support, such asthe setting up of more outreaching ‘support teams for the elderly people’for those living in older urban districts. More research should also bedone to study the needs of and problems faced by the urban elderly sothat social workers can be well-informed and culturally competent tohelp this disadvantaged group.
