Depression and anxiety of the grandmaternal (G0) and maternal (G1) generations were assessed using the 10-item version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale and the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, respectively, with scores of 10 or higher defined as depression and anxiety.

In addition, the intergenerational association of depression was stronger among G0 participants residing in rural areas, whereas G0 depression and anxiety were more strongly associated with anxiety in G1 among those with higher household income.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S092493382612224X_sec4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mental disorders were intergenerationally associated between mothers and their adult daughters.
