Depressive spectrum states in a population‐based cohort of 70‐year olds followed over 9 years

Abstract: In this population-based sample, over half experienced some degree of depression during their eighth decade of life. The findings give some support for the validity of a depressive spectrum in older adults. Most new episodes of major depression occurred in people who were in a depressive spectrum state already at baseline, which may have implications for late-life depression prevention strategies.

“…Un estudio longitudinal en Beijing encontró una incidencia acumulada a cuatro años de 10,58% en una muestra de 2506 ancianos de las zonas urbana y rural (9). Sigström et al, en Suecia, reportaron una incidencia de 16,4% a cinco años en una cohorte de personas de 70 años (10); cabe destacar que la depresión mayor tuvo un incremento importante de la incidencia en personas con antecedentes de algún grado de depresión a lo largo de su vida en comparación con personas sin antecedente (10,3% vs 1,8%).…”

“…Although some isolated symptoms, such as fatigue and reduced appetite, may overlap with the clinical presentation of several somatic diseases, others may reasonably arise as a reaction to the somatic burden, such as impaired sleep, feelings of worthlessness and death thoughts. Further, although the prevalence of subsyndromal depression seems to increase with age, a proportion of older individuals with SSD has been shown to transition to minor and major depression over time [ 45 ]. This suggests that depressive states during ageing are dynamic and are likely intertwined with the burden of somatic health.…”
