Curated dataset and analysis code for "Factors Associated With Depressive Symptoms in Older Mexican Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"

This Zenodo record contains the curated dataset and analysis code used for the systematic review and meta-analysis titled “Factors Associated With Depressive Symptoms in Older Mexican Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis” registered in PROSPERO as CRD42024597856. The dataset includes the harmonised study-level effect estimates used in the quantitative synthesis, with one estimate per study and factor where applicable. The accompanying analysis code reproduces the pooled odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals, heterogeneity statistics, prediction intervals, sensitivity analyses, and forest plots reported in the manuscript. The files are provided to support transparency, reproducibility, and reuse of the analytic workflow. The outcome assessed in the review is depressive symptomatology measured using validated screening instruments, rather than clinical diagnosis of depressive disorder. The uploaded materials include: Harmonised effect-size dataset. Analysis scripts for the random-effects meta-analyses. Forest plot outputs. Supplementary materials documenting search strategy, adjustment covariates, and JBI risk-of-bias assessments. This record should be cited when using or referring to the dataset, scripts, or reproducible analytic materials associated with the review.
