BACKGROUND: Depression and suicidality in older adults are major public health concerns worldwide. These phenomena are strongly influenced by social and quality of life factors. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to characterize depressive and suicidal symptoms in older people in the context of quality of life. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study 76 people aged 60-74 years were examined using interviews and questionnaires, namely: the Mannheim inventory of living conditions in old age (Mannheimer Inventar der Lebensverhältnisse im Alter, MILVA), the geriatric depression scale (GDS-15), Beck hopelessness scale (BHS) and the suicide crisis inventory revised (SCI-2). Data analysis was performed using statistical methods: regression analysis, Student's T‑test, Pearson correlation. RESULTS: Older people with suicidal thoughts have a lower quality of life, namely by scales of communication and finances, with higher scores of depression and hopelessness. A negative relationship was found between social factors and indicators of a suicidal crisis. Regression analysis showed that activity and communication significantly influence the level of depression in older adults, while communication and financial stability influence the severity of suicidal crisis. CONCLUSION: Improving the quality of life of older people, social support, increasing activity and communication can help to maintain well-being as well as to prevent depression and suicidal behavior in old age.
