Abstract Objective: To investigate the situation of anxiety and depression among infertile women with older age in Shenzhen and to explore the associated factors that influenced on anxiety and depression. Methods: 210 infertile women (3545 years old) from the infertility clinical outpatients service of Shenzhen people's hospital were recruited in this crosssectional survey between January 2016 and December 2016. General demographic and clinical information were collected by patient interview. Situation of anxiety and depression of included infertile women was assessed by Chinese version of hospital anxiety and depression scale. Prevalence and associated protective or risk factors were analyzed by SPSS. Results: In all included infertile women, 81 (38.6%) women were screened positive for anxiety and 83(395%) had depressive symptoms. Multivariate analysis indicated that women with children ［odds ratio (OR) 0.67, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.530.93］ and higher incomes (OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.580.94) were protective factors to anxiety. Primary infertility was associated with increased depressive symptoms (OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.192.72). Higher education level (OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.330.91) and family support (OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.290.61) were protective factors to depression. Conclusion: Anxiety and depression remain highly prevalent in infertile women with age≥35 years old in Shenzhen, so it is should be paid more attention to.
