Abstract

Understanding how long-term marital stress affects major depressive disorder (MDD) in older women has clinical implications for the treatment of women at risk. In this paper, we consider the problem of predicting MDD in older women (mean age 60) from a marital stress scale administered four times during the preceding 20-year period, with a greater dropout by women experiencing marital stress or MDD. To analyze these data, we propose a Bayesian joint model consisting of: (1) a linear mixed effects model for the longitudinal measurements, (2) a generalized linear model for the binary primary endpoint, and (3) a shared parameter model for the missing data mechanism. Our analysis indicates that MDD in older women is significantly associated with higher levels of prior marital stress and increasing marital stress over time, although there is a generally decreasing trend in marital stress. This is the first study to propose a joint model for incompletely observed longitudinal measurements, a binary primary endpoint, and non-ignorable missing data; a comparison shows that the joint model yields better predictive accuracy than a two-stage model. These findings suggest that women who experience marital stress in mid-life need treatment to help prevent late-life MDD, which has serious consequences for older persons.
