Abstract：
Despite recognition in the West that military veterans experience more mental health issues than the general population, little research has focused on this subject in China. This study examined the associations between male veterans\' military experience and depression in China.
A sample of 12,914 men including 669 veterans was included in the final analysis and propensity score matching, multivariable regressions and fixed effect model were used.
The military experience was associated with a lower likelihood of depression in male veterans. In the subgroup analysis, military experience was associated with a lower likelihood of depression among married and urban male veterans. Military experience was also associated with a lower likelihood of depression in both \"junior college and above\" and \"below junior college\" groups. In contrast, evidence was lacking regarding the associations between military experience and depression for unmarried and rural veterans.
Individual characteristics could influence the relationship between military experience and depression in male veterans, and the mental health of veterans should be paid more attention and guaranteed.

摘要：
背景：尽管西方认识到退伍军人比一般人群经历更多的心理健康问题，在中国，很少有研究关注这一主题。这项研究调查了中国男性退伍军人的军事经历与抑郁症之间的关系。
方法：包括669名退伍军人在内的12,914名男性样本被纳入最终分析和倾向评分匹配，采用多变量回归和固定效应模型。
结果：军事经历与男性退伍军人抑郁症的可能性较低有关。在亚组分析中，在已婚和都市男性退伍军人中,军事经历与抑郁的可能性较低相关.在“大专及以上学历”和“大专以下”组中，军事经验也与抑郁症的可能性较低有关。相比之下,对于未婚和农村退伍军人来说,缺乏军事经历与抑郁之间关联的证据.
结论：个体特征可能影响男性退伍军人的军事经历与抑郁之间的关系，退伍军人的心理健康应该得到更多的关注和保障。
