description | BACKGROUND: Physical and social neighbourhood characteristics can vary according to the neighbourhood socio-economic status (SES) and influence residents’ perceptions, behaviours and health outcomes both positively and negatively. Neighbourhood SES has been shown to be predictive of mental health, which is relevant for healthy ageing and prevention of dementia or depression. Positive affectivity (PA) is an established indicator of mental health and might indicate a positive emotional response to neighbourhood characteristics. In this study, we focussed on the association of neighbourhood SES with PA among older residents in Germany and considered social integration and environmental perceptions in this association. METHODS: We used questionnaire-based data of the ongoing population-based Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study for our cross-sectional analysis, complemented by secondary data on social welfare rates in the neighbourhood of residents’ address. PA was assessed using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) in 2016. Linear regression models were performed to estimate the associations and adjusted for socio-demographic variables. RESULTS: Higher social welfare rates were associated with lower PA scores. The strongest negative association from the crude model (b = −1.916, 95%-CI [−2.997, −0.835]) was reduced after controlling for socio-demographic variables (b = −1.429, 95%-CI [−2.511, −0.346]). Social integration factors (b = −1.199, 95%-CI [−2.276, −0.121]) and perceived environmental factors (b = −0.875, 95%-CI [−1.971, 0.221]) additionally diminished the association of social welfare rates with PA in the full model (b = −0.945, 95%-CI [−2.037, 0.147]). CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that neighbourhoods have an influence on the occurrence and the extent of PA. Public health interventions that address socio-economic disadvantage in the neighbourhood environment could be an effective and far-reaching way to reduce the risk of depression and depressive symptoms due to low PA in older residents.
