CONCLUSIONS  Caring for an adult relative (e.g., elderly parents) has been associated with stress and negative outcomes such as depression and anxiety as well as financial burdens.  The aim of this analysis is to profile caregivers (CGs) across eight countries relative to non-CGs with respect to differences in demographics, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scores, depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire, PHQ-9), and CG burden.
