      ab: Background: The rising prevalence of depressive symptoms presents a pressing global public health concern, exacerbated by prevailing social inequality. Aim: This study seeks to identify latent profiles of social inequality perception and explore their associations with depressive symptoms. Methods: Data were obtained from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) involving 10,529 residents aged 18 years and above. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to identify different patterns of social inequality perception. Multiple linear regression analysis examined the links between these patterns and depressive symptoms. Results: Three distinct patterns of social inequality perception were identified: the disappointed pattern (TDP), the neutral pattern (TNP), and the positive pattern (TPP). Perceived social inequality was significantly associated with short-term and long-term depressive symptoms (β =.51, 95% CI [0.29, 0.72] vs. β =.51, 95% CI [0.27, 0.74]). Increases in social inequality perception patterns were also related to more severe depressive symptoms (β =.55, 95% CI [0.36, 0.74]). Conclusions: Increasing perceived social inequality is closely linked to elevated depressive symptoms in Chinese adults. This underscores the need for tailored strategies aimed at addressing heightened perceptions of social inequality to reduce the risk of depressive symptoms.
