“…In an investigation of depression in adults over the age of 50, Dean et al (1990) found that expressive support from one's spouse and friends reduced depression. Penninx et al (1998) provided evidence for a favourable effect of social support on depressive symptoms in the sense that having a partner and having many close relationships was associated with fewer depressive symptoms. In particular, spouses were found to be most important for psychological well-being (Dean et al 1990).…”

Children’s impact on the mental health of their older mothers and fathers: findings from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe

The relation between social support and mental health has been thoroughly researched and structural characteristics of the social network have been widely recognised as being an important component of social support. The aim of this paper is to clarify the association between children and depressive mood states of their older parents. Based on international comparative data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe we analysed how the number of children, their proximity and the frequency of contact between older parents and their children are associated with the mental health of older people, using the EURO-D index. Our results indicate a positive association of children and depressive mood since childless men and women report more depressive symptoms. Moreover, few contacts with children were associated with an increased number of depressive symptoms. The family status was related to mental health as well: older men and women living with a spouse or partner had the lowest levels of depression. Interestingly, the presence of a spouse or partner was more relevant for the mental health of older people than the presence of, or contact with, their children.

“…Of the 42 total studies, 3 (7%) did not provide enough information to be included in the OR or point prevalence calculations. Two of these three studies (32,33) reported only the statistical comparison of the mean depression scale scores of diabetic versus nondiabetic subjects, and the other (34) reported only lifetime rates of depression.…”

OBJECTIVE -To estimate the odds and prevalence of clinically relevant depression in adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Depression is associated with hyperglycemia and an increased risk for diabetic complications; relief of depression is associated with improved glycemic control. A more accurate estimate of depression prevalence than what is currently available is needed to gauge the potential impact of depression management in diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -MEDLINE and PsycINFO databases andpublished references were used to identify studies that reported the prevalence of depression in diabetes. Prevalence was calculated as an aggregate mean weighted by the combined number of subjects in the included studies. We used 2 statistics and odds ratios (ORs) to assess the rate and likelihood of depression as a function of type of diabetes, sex, subject source, depression assessment method, and study design.RESULTS -A total of 42 eligible studies were identified; 20 (48%) included a nondiabetic comparison group. In the controlled studies, the odds of depression in the diabetic group were twice that of the nondiabetic comparison group (OR ϭ 2.0, 95% CI 1.8 -2.2) and did not differ by sex, type of diabetes, subject source, or assessment method. The prevalence of comorbid depression was significantly higher in diabetic women (28%) than in diabetic men (18%), in uncontrolled (30%) than in controlled studies (21%), in clinical (32%) than in community (20%) samples, and when assessed by self-report questionnaires (31%) than by standardized diagnostic interviews (11%).CONCLUSIONS -The presence of diabetes doubles the odds of comorbid depression. Prevalence estimates are affected by several clinical and methodological variables that do not affect the stability of the ORs.

“…Because depressive symptoms increase risk of death in older adults (Blazer et al 2001), lead to increased caregiver depression (Neundorfer et al 2001), and increase the risk of AD in cognitively impaired individuals (Alexopoulos et al 1993;Modrego and Ferrandez 2004), it is important to detect possible factors contributing to depression in old age. Research has shown a differential impact of social support and personal coping resources on depression in individuals with various chronic diseases (Bisschop et al 2004;Penninx et al 1998); however, the protective impact of social support and motivational processes on depression in old age might even increase in individuals with the increasing cognitive impairment.…”

Depressive symptoms in later life: differential impact of social support and motivational processes on depression in individuals with and without cognitive impairment

This study investigates the role of a motivational process based on a composite of four subcomponents (self-efficacy, decision regulation, activation regulation and motivation regulation), as a mediator of the relationship between social support and depression assessed with the Geriatric Depression Scale in cognitively impaired and unimpaired individuals. Participants were 229 adults with a mean age of 74 years (range: 52-94 years). The sample comprised 64 participants diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), 47 participants diagnosed with earlystage Alzheimer's disease (AD), and a group of 118 participants without any cognitive impairment. In this crosssectional study, bivariate correlations and linear regression models were used to assess the association between the predictor variables and depression. Linear regression models were controlled for age, gender, education, cognitive status, cognitive impairment and activities. In the total Based on these findings, it can be argued that the impact of social support on depressive symptoms is attenuated by cerebral deterioration in cognitively impaired individuals, while motivational processes remain relevant.
