The exposure variable was self\u2010reported visual difficulty, and the outcome variable was the presence of depressive symptoms, assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire\u20109 (PHQ\u20109). Multiple potential confounding variables were also included. Crude and adjusted ordinal logistic regression models were fitted, and odds ratios (ORs) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were estimated. All analyses were weighted to account for the complex sampling design of ENDES 2020.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data from 5066 Peruvians aged 60\u2009years and older were analysed. Overall, 28.0% reported visual difficulty, and 30.3% presented depressive symptoms. In the adjusted ordinal logistic regression model, individuals with visual difficulty had 2.27 times higher cumulative odds of being in a more severe category of depressive symptoms compared with those without visual difficulty (OR\u2009=\u20092.27; 95% CI: 1.86\u20132.77), after adjusting for multiple potential confounders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In Peru, self\u2010reported visual difficulty was associated with greater severity of depressive symptoms among adults aged 60\u2009years and older in 2020.
