Gender roles are particularly intensified in the perinatal period enhancing the risk of depression. This research seeks to examine the cross-sectional association between adherence to traditional gender norms, both masculine and feminine—and perinatal depression, and to assess the potential predictive effect of gender norms on perinatal depression after a follow-up of the pregnancy period.engEnfermeríaNormas de géneroSalud mentalPersonas embarazadasjournal article10.1016/j.midw.2026.104817embargoed accessEmbarazoSalud mentalAntropología culturalGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all agesGoal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
