“…This is consistent with the range reported in comparable studies using the GHQ (Goldberg & Williams, 1988;Bowling & Farquahar, 1991;Bowling et al, 1996). A large number of variables relating to psychological resources, social activity, quality of life, health and functioning and neighbourhood environment were significantly associated with GHQ score at univariate level.…”

“…On the basis of their surveys in London and South East England, Bowling, Farquhar and Grundy (1996) reported that psychological morbidity was significantly higher among people aged 85þ, compared with those aged 65-85, and these age differences were still evident at follow-up two and a half to three years later. Rates of depression were also shown to increase after age 90 and age 95 in the Umea 85þ study (von Heideken et al, 2006).…”

“…Depression is not part of normal ageing, and reported risk factors for depression in older age include female gender, economic deprivation, onset of serious medical disorders, including dementia, poor health and functioning, bereavement and other life crises, and it may be co-morbid with some conditions (e.g., myocardial infarction) (Berkman et al, 1986;Bowling et al, 1996;Djernes, 2006;Hybels et al, 2006;Kennedy, Kelman, & Thomas, 1990;Phifer & Murrel, 1986;Raj, 2004;Stallones, Marx, & Garrity, 1990). While there is little robust, multilevel data on the influence of neighbourhood social capital on mental health in older age, Walters et al (2004) reported no independent associations between area deprivation and anxiety or depression, among their population sample aged 75þ, although higher population density was consistently associated with increased depression and anxiety.…”

“…But the large volume of literature is inconsistent on the association between the potentially buffering effects of social support and psychological health (Bowling, 1994;Bowling & Farquhar, 1991;Bowling et al, 1996;Vanderhorst & McLaren, 2005). There have been relatively few studies comparing potential gender-specific and gender-sensitive risk factors in more multidimensional approaches among older people.…”

Gender-specific and gender-sensitive associations with psychological health and morbidity in older age. Baseline findings from a British population survey of ageing

This paper is unique in examining in detail the independent, gender-specific and gender-sensitive predictors of psychological morbidity in a national random sample of older adults. Optimism, self-efficacy, quality of life and mobility were gender-specific predictors, and health status was a gender-sensitive predictor of psychological morbidity. These differences suggest that interventions aiming to improve the mental health outcomes of older people need to be guided by evidence on risk factors by gender.

“…These factors, along with the functional decline that comes with ageing (Katona & Shankar, 1999, constitute risk factors for the occurrence and maintenance of psychiatric conditions (Bowling & Farquhar, 1996;Ebmeier, Donaghey, & Steele, 2006;Tafaro, Cicconetti, Zannino, Tdeschi, Tombolilla, Ettore, & Marigliano, 2002;Woods, 1999).…”

This study aims to describe rehabilitation and resocialization methods we believe to be appropriate for application to female patients with schizophrenia, in a psychiatric unit with a predominantly older population. We briefly describe the unit and the interventions used as an example of the proposed rehabilitation and resocialization methods applied. The article provides an overview to guide accurate intervention, particularly in inpatient women, in different types of cognitive impairment under the broad category of schizophrenia. Our clinical approach includes a token economy approach, cognitive remediation therapy, and social skills training. The token economy intervention is particularly directed to patients that present with a high mental deterioration and/or debility. Cognitive remediation training is applicable to subjects with both cognitive and social dysfunction, but that do not possess signs of an organic cerebral illness or of substance abuse. Social skills training can be the third step to resocialization, training verbal and nonverbal communication competencies.

Life satisfaction, measured using Neugarten's Life Satisfaction Scale, was examined in three samples of elderly people in London and Essex at baseline and at follow‐up 2½–3 years later. The analyses reported here relate to changes in life satisfaction. The previously reported baseline analyses showed that poor health and functional ability were the strongest predictors of baseline life satisfaction. The results from the follow‐up data presented here show that the most significant predictor of changes in life satisfaction at follow‐up was baseline life satisfaction. While follow‐up health and functional status, social network structure and activities explained the remainder of the explained variance, this was very little. The results are consistent with previous analyses of associations with changes in psychiatric morbidity (mainly depression) and highlight the importance of initiating early rehabilitation programmes.
