“…The prevalence of VRFs (e.g., cardiovascular disease, angina, circulation problems, etc.) increases with age, and VRFs have been empirically linked with the onset and severity of depression in both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies (Lingam et al, 1988;Alexopoulos et al, 1997aAlexopoulos et al, , 1997bKrishnan et al, 1997;Lyness, 2000;Hickie et al, 2003;Oldehinkel et al, 2003;Mast et al, 2004aMast et al, , 2004bKales et al, 2005;Mast et al, 2005;Steffens et al, 2006;Nuyen et al, 2007;Steffens et al, 2007;Mast et al, 2008).…”

Objective Vascular burden has been linked to future depression and cognitive change in predominately European American samples. This study investigated these relationships in older African Americans. Methods To examine the connection between vascular risk factors, depression, and cognitive change, this study utilized data from 435 African American elders. Specifically, the study examined the link between vascular risk at baseline with depression and cognitive functioning at a 2.5 year follow-up visit. Results High baseline vascular risk was associated with increased odds of future depression while controlling for age and current depression. A series of path analyses demonstrated links between baseline vascular risk, increases in depression, and decreases in processing speed. Conclusions These findings suggest that African Americans with greater vascular burden are at greater risk for depression and cognitive change.

“…For instance, a study by Lee et al [8] demonstrated a concomitant relationship between mild cognitive impairment and increased depressive symptoms in a sample of older adults. Prior research has found evidence for a relation between later life mental health and indicators of access and functioning, such as ethnicity, residential status, ability to perform activities of daily living, and subjective health [5,9,10] .…”

Depression among Centenarians and the Oldest Old: Contributions of Cognition and Personality

et al. 2010

Background: An estimated 20% of adults over the age of 55 experience clinical mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. For older adults, mental health concerns are often undetected, concomitant with physical challenges, and ultimately go untreated. These realities have significant implications for older adults’ day-to-day functioning, particularly among the oldest old. Objective: The present study examined the ability of cognition and personality in explaining depression within a sample of octogenarians and centenarians. Methods: Participants were assessed during the most recent cross-sectional data collection of the Georgia Centenarian Study. The final eligible sample included 76 octogenarians (mean: 84.25 years, SD: 2.82; range: 81–90) and 158 centenarians and near centenarians (mean: 99.82 years, SD: 1.72; range: 98–109). Results: Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to examine the relation between key variables and depressive symptoms in the two age groups. Blocks entered into the analyses included: demographics (i.e. age group, residential status, sex, and ethnicity) and functioning, memory and problem-solving ability, and personality (i.e. extraversion and neuroticism). Models differed for octogenarians and centenarians. Decreased problem-solving ability was related to greater depressive symptoms among octogenarians. For centenarians, institutional residence and increased neurotic tendencies were related to greater depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Study findings demonstrate the need to examine a variety of factors which influence mental health in later life and to consider the unique contexts and differential experiences of octogenarians and centenarians.

“…De esta manera, las enfermedades cerebrovasculares (ECV) y la depresión se asocian con un mayor riesgo de discapacidad (Licht-Strunk et al, 2004). Más aún, la depresión incrementa de forma significativa el riesgo de muerte en adultos mayores con diabetes, enfermedades cardiovasculares e hipertensión (Camus et al, 2004;Nuyen et al, 2007).…”

“…Sin embargo, a pesar de este elevado porcentaje de comorbilidad y sus implicaciones, la depresión puede pasar inadvertida, puesto que los profesionales de atención primaria suelen recurrir diferencialmente a explicaciones orgánicas de la sintomatología presente (Nuyen et al, 2007;Rao, 2000). Más aún, los perfiles sintomáticos de la depresión en adultos mayores con y sin ECV no se diferencian significativamente, excepto en su aparente duración (Luijendijk, Stricker, Hofman, Witteman & Tiemeier, 2008), lo cual dificulta el diagnóstico diferencial y contribuye al sesgo de atribuir los síntomas de depresión exclusivamente a enfermedades orgánicas (Camus et al, 2004;Licht-Strunk et al, 2004).…”

La revisión sistemática de 51 artículos en inglés publicados a partir del año 2000 en las bases de datos PsycNet, Ebsco y Science Direct, revela una alta comorbilidad de depresión en adultos mayores. Asimismo, se observa que los adultos mayores presentaban también enfermedad cerebrovascular, diabetes, Alzheimer y parkinsonismo, con sintomatología similar a la depresión debido al deterioro que provocan. El análisis permitió observar que estas enfermedades pueden anteceder a la depresión sin necesidad de un vínculo anatómico - funcional directo, por cuanto a las implicaciones psicosociales que conllevan. La depresión es también un factor de riesgo para la incidencia de enfermedad cerebrovascular y diabetes. Se recomienda la realización de más estudios longitudinales, con el fin de caracterizar pormenorizadamente el curso etiológico de la depresión.
