Abstract: To investigate the changes of Chinese mental health status of old people in China, data from 160 papers were analyzed using the cross-temporal meta-analysis. The reporting data was collected from 1996 to 2016, applying the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90). Results showed that: (1) Scores of all 9 types of mental problems in SCL-90 were positively correlated with year, which indicated that the mental health level of old people decreased steadily in the past 21 years; (2) Correlations between three social indicators (divorce rate, mortality rate and crime rate) and scores of all 9 types of mental problems in SCL-90 were significantly positive, which suggested that changes on these social factors may be responsible for the decrease in Chinese old people's mental health levels; (3) The level of mental health of old people decreased significantly over time among both male and female old people, with a slightly larger shifts occurring among male old people, however, there were no significant gender differences in their scores of all 9 types of mental problems; (4) The mental health levels of old people from urban areas decreased significantly over time, whereas that of old people from rural areas showed an increasing trend with year.

Key words: old people, SCL-90, mental health, cross-temporal meta-analysis, meta-analysis
