See the technical phrasing
Among adults aged 60 years and older in China, limitations in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), such as managing money or medications, are associated with a higher risk of depressive symptoms, with an odds ratio of 1.775 (95% CI: 1.485–2.122), even after adjusting for individual and provincial-level covariates, suggesting that reduced independence in complex daily tasks is linked to poorer psychological well-being in this population.
