The incidence of depression in eight-year program medical students at postgraduate stage was 37.1%(79/213). Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors of the depression in eight-year program medical students at postgraduate stage included female (OR=2.495, 95%CI:1.095~5.683, P=0.03), the first and third years of graduate training (OR=2.770, 95%CI:1.174~6.536, P=0.02), the more adolescent life events (OR=1.232, 95%CI:1.141~1.329, P<0.001) and the less social support (OR=0.632, 95%CI:0.489~0.816, P<0.001).Conclusions The incidence of anxiety and depression are higher in eight-year program medical students at postgraduate stage.
