ABSTRACT Objective: To estimate the prevalence of depressive symptoms in the population aged 18 to 24, according to socioeconomic and demographic aspects in Brazil, comparing its evolution between 2013 and 2019. Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out with secondary data obtained from National Health Survey 2013 and 2019. It were included 7,823 young adulthood (aged 18 to 24) from 2013 and 8,047 from 2019. The instrument used to assess depression was the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). All estimates included population weights and complex sampling. Results: The prevalence of depression almost doubled: 10.9% (95%CI 9.6–12.2) in 2019, compared to 5.6% (95%CI 4.8–6.4) in 2013, an absolute difference of 5.3% (4.5–6.0) greater. Women were the most affected in both surveys, with an increase between 2013 (8.3%; 95%CI 6.9–9.6) and 2019 (15.6%; 95%CI 13.5–17.6) higher than that of men (2013: 2.9%; 95%CI 2.0–3.8 and 2019: 6.2%; 95%CI 4.7–7.7). In both sexes, the pattern of increase was greater for the groups aged 18 to 20, not participating in religious activities, who were at the lowest levels of education and income, who lived with two or three or more people, who lived in the Northeast, Southeast, capitals and metropolitan areas of the country. Conclusion: There was a significant increase in the prevalence of depressive symptoms over the six years between the two surveys. However, this increase did not occur homogeneously among the characteristics analyzed, indicating population groups and locations in Brazil where the presence of these symptoms increased most in the period.

RESUMO Objetivo: Estimar a prevalência de sintomas depressivos na população de 18 a 24 anos, segundo aspectos socioeconômicos e demográficos no Brasil, comparando sua evolução entre os anos de 2013 e 2019. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com dados secundários da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde 2013 e 2019. Foram incluídos 7.823 adultos jovens (18 a 24 anos) de 2013 e 8.047 de 2019. O instrumento utilizado para avaliar a depressão foi o Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Todas as estimativas incluíram os pesos da população e a amostragem complexa. Resultados: A prevalência de sintomas depressivos quase dobrou: 10,9% (IC95% 9,6–12,2) em 2019, ante os 5,6% (IC95% 4,8–6,4) em 2013; uma diferença absoluta de 5,3% (4,5–6,0) maior. As mulheres foram as mais afetadas em ambos os inquéritos, com aumento entre 2013 (8,3%; IC95% 6,9–9,6) e 2019 (15,6%; IC95% 13,5–17,6) superior aos dos homens (2013: 2,9%; IC95% 2,0–3,8 e 2019: 6,2%; IC95% 4,7–7,7). Em ambos os sexos, o padrão de aumento foi maior para os grupos de 18 a 20 anos; não participantes de atividades religiosas; que estavam nos mais baixos níveis de escolaridade e renda; que residiam com duas ou mais pessoas; e que residiam nas regiões Nordeste, Sudeste, capitais e áreas metropolitanas do país. Conclusão: Verificou-se aumento estatisticamente significante da prevalência de sintomas depressivos ao longo dos 6 anos dos inquéritos. Esse aumento não ocorreu de modo homogêneo entre as características analisadas, indicando os grupos populacionais e localidades do Brasil em que mais cresceu a presença desses sintomas no período.
