“…Also, due to the gradual aging of the population and the increase in the institutionalization of older adults, further research should be carried out to assess how it affects traditional models compared to other more innovative models [132]. The relationships between depressive symptoms and institutionalization should be further investigated, since in our study it was not possible to determine whether institutionalization alone favors depression or whether there are a greater number of depressed older people institutionalized by their families.…”

Background: In the last three decades, the relationship between depression and cognition in geriatric patients has been a popular topic among researchers and clinicians. Clinical and epidemiological research has focused on the identification of risk factors that could be modified in pre-dementia syndromes, at a preclinical and early clinical stage of dementia disorders, with specific attention to the role of depression. The objective of this work was to determine the relationship between depressive disorder and cognitive deterioration in institutionalized older adults. Methods: In this descriptive, correlational study, data were gathered from two nursing homes in the province of Jaen (Spain), from a random sample of 140 older adults (70 nondependent and 70 dependent). The variables were measured using comprehensive geriatric assessment, the Cambridge Cognitive Test (CAMCOG), and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Results: Depression was correlated with cognitive level in the nondependent older adult sample (r =-0.471, p = 0.004). Age was inversely associated with the score obtained in the CAMCOG of the nondependent older adult sample (r =-0.352, p = 0.038). The functional capacity in several activities of daily living was correlated with the score obtained in the CAMCOG in each of the two groups. Depression was more prevalent in the dependent than in the nondependent older adults (82.85 vs. 57.14%). No association was observed between institutionalization time and the score obtained on the cognitive and affective scales (GDS and CAMCOG) in both groups (GDS-nondependent, r =-0.209, p = 0.234; CAMCOG-nondependent, r = 0.007, p = 0.967; GDS-dependent, r = 0.251, p = 0.152; CAMCOG-dependent, r =-0.021, p = 0.907). Conclusion: Depressive symptomatology is associated with cognitive deterioration. Depression is prevalent in institutions that care for older, more dependent adults.

“…Intervening in internal environmental parameters therefore conditions the onset or, on the contrary, the reduction of symptoms linked to dementia. 16 Supportive facilities, such as signage, an adequate choice of finishes and furniture, then help to manage your symptoms. Recurrent observations point to an increased consideration for contrasting color choices and materials with low visual loads in order to avoid visual overload that can lead to worsening of symptoms.…”

“…Chromatic environments can thus induce a positive feeling for users, while becoming stimulating and attractive spaces. 7 The studies identified in the context of this review of the literature make their contribution to the problem of the impact of vision disorders [8][9][10][11] and cognitive pathologies [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] on perception and adaptation, by color and light, from the inhabited environment of the dependent elderly person.

The use of color and lighting as factors for adapting the housing of the elderly is tending to develop, in response to demographic data on the aging of the population and its impact on lifestyles. Adapting the environment for those over 60 years has become a national issue for public policy. So this article takes stock of the studies carried out on this issue. We have to review all the literature devoted to this subject, focusing on research products dealing with the color and light interaction in the indoor environment of seniors.

The objective of this research is to describe the relationship between depressive disorder and cognitive deterioration in residentialized elderly people. This is a descriptive and correlational study with 70 elderly. The variables have been assessed with a Psychosocial Variables Questionnaire, CAMCOG and GDS. Depression was significantly correlated with cognitive level in the non-assisted elderly sample (r=0.471, p=0.004). Participants’ age is negatively associated with the score obtained in the CAMCOG of non-assisted sample (r=-0.352, p=0.038). Depression is more frequent in institutions that care for older people when they are more dependent.
