“…All subjects scoring ≥16 on the CES-D at baseline and a similarly sized random sample of those scoring <16 were approached for the follow-up study on depression. Response was 86% (N=652: non-depressed cohort: N=325, depressed cohort: N=327); non-response was related to age (p<0.001) but not to gender (16). Follow-up data were collected by mail questionnaires at 5-month intervals in six successive waves, covering a period of 3 years.…”
