The study aimed to investigate the interplay between socioeconomic markers (education and financial resources) and polygenic predisposition influencing individual differences in depressive symptoms and their change over time in older adults, which is of central relevance for preventative strategies. The sample encompassing n = 6202 adults aged ≥50 years old with a follow-up period of 14 years was utilised from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Polygenic scores for depressive symptoms were calculated using summary statistics for (1) single-trait depressive symptoms (PGS-DS single), and (2) multi-trait including depressive symptoms, subjective well-being, neuroticism, loneliness, and self-rated health (PGS-DS multi-trait). The depressive symptoms over the past week were measured using the eight-item Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. One standard deviation increase in each PGS was associated with a higher baseline score in depressive symptoms. Each additional year of completed schooling was associated with lower baseline depression symptoms (β = −0.06, 95%CI = −0.07 to −0.05, p < 0.001); intermediate and lower wealth were associated with a higher baseline score in depressive symptoms. Although there was a weak interaction effect between PGS-DSs and socioeconomic status in association with the baseline depressive symptoms, there were no significant relationships of PGS-DSs, socioeconomic factors, and rate of change in the depressive symptoms during the 14-year follow-up period. Common genetic variants for depressive symptoms are associated with a greater number of depressive symptoms onset but not with their rate of change in the following 14 years. Lower socioeconomic status is an important factor influencing individual levels of depressive symptoms, independently from polygenic predisposition to depressive symptoms.
