OBJECTIVES The authors prospectively examined whether depressive symptoms (DS) in older adults negatively affected active live expectancy (ALE), or remaining years free of disability, and mortality, independently and in the presence of chronic diseases, and after stratification by gender. DESIGN Prospective cohort study, first three waves (1993-1998) of the Asset and Health Dynamics Among the Oldest Old. SETTING DATA COLLECTION University of Michigan; analysis: University of South…

Life expectancy without depression increases among Brazilian older adults
TLDR
Between 2000 and 2010, life expectancy without depression in Sao Paulo increased, however, older adults in Brazil, especially older women, still face a serious burden of mental illness.
Physical disability and depressive symptomatology in an elderly population: a complex relationship. The Italian Longitudinal Study on Aging (ILSA).
TLDR
Evidence that older persons who report DS are at higher risk of subsequent physical decline is provided, and in women, arthritis is a more powerful predictor of preclinical disability, as measured by PPT.
Risk of coronary heart disease events over 15 years among older adults with depressive symptoms.
TLDR
The Cox proportional hazards models revealed that individuals with elevated depressive symptoms were more likely to experience a CHD event, even after adjustment for demographics and comorbid health conditions.
Comparison of major depressive disorder and subthreshold depression among older adults in community long-term care
TLDR
Results lend support to the continuum notion of depression by examining differences in symptomology and associative factors for a subpopulation of older adults with functional disability.
Associations of multiple chronic health conditions with active life expectancy in the United States
TLDR
The increasing prevalence of multiple chronic conditions may substantially increase disability in later life, and rehabilitation is especially important for people with pre-diabetes, developing heart disease or early stages of other cardiovascular-related diseases as avoiding the development of multiple Chronic diseases through increased activity may greatly reduce disability and mortality.
Prevalence of depressive symptoms and associated factors in older adult public housing residents.
TLDR
The results have implications for future studies of depressive symptoms in older adults, suggesting that grief and financial assistance programs may help reduce risks associated with depressive symptoms among community-dwelling older adults living in public housing.
Course of depression and mortality among older primary care patients.
TLDR
Persistent depressive symptoms signaled increased risk of dying in older primary care patients, even after adjustment for potentially influential characteristics such as age, smoking status, and medical comorbidity.
Disabled life expectancy with and without stroke: a 10-year Japanese prospective cohort study
TLDR
Estimating disabled and disability-free life expectancy based on the stroke status of Japanese residents aged 65 and older and incidence-based multistate life tables can inform policymakers and rehabilitation practitioners on stroke survivor long-term care needs and their post-stroke health status.
Clinical Predictors of Mortality in Adults with Intellectual Disabilities with and without Down Syndrome
TLDR
Although adults with DS have had considerable improvements in life expectancy over time, they are still disadvantaged compared to adults with ID without DS, and recognition of potentially modifiable factors such as depression may decrease this risk.
Contribution of chronic diseases to the disability burden in a population 15 years and older, Belgium, 1997–2008
TLDR
To reduce the burden of disability in Belgium, interventions should target musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases especially among elderly, and attention should also be given to depression in young individuals.

Depression, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and two-year mortality among older, primary-care patients.
TLDR
Among older, primary-care patients over the course of a 2-year follow-up interval, depression contributed as much to mortality as did MI or diabetes.
The impact of obesity on active life expectancy in older American men and women.
TLDR
The findings indicate that obesity has little effect on life expectancy in adults aged 70 years and older, however, the obese are more likely to become disabled.
Depressive symptoms and mortality among persons with and without diabetes.
TLDR
Diabetes modifies the effect of depression on mortality among US adults with diabetes, and demonstrates the importance of observing subgroups, rather than aggregated populations, when examining the effect on mortality.
Differentials in active life expectancy in the older population of the United States.
TLDR
There are no significant race differences in total life expectancy for race-education groups of the older population; but Blacks have lower expected active life than non-Blacks because of worse functioning.
Depressive Symptoms and Mortality in Men: Results From the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial
TLDR
Greater depressive symptoms are associated with an increase in the risk of all-cause and CVD mortality in men, and Stroke but not CHD was the form of CVD with which depressive symptoms were associated.
Temporal and reciprocal relationship between IADL/ADL disability and depressive symptoms in late life.
TLDR
The authors examined the reciprocal effects between depressive symptoms and functional disability and their temporal character in a community-based cohort of 753 older people with physical limitations, finding a weak correlation between the trait (or stable) components of depression and disability.
Is depression in old age fatal only when people feel lonely?
TLDR
The data suggest that the increased mortality risk attributable to depression in the presence of perceived loneliness may result from motivational depletion.

TLDR
Right hemisphere integrity in general and nonverbal drawing tasks in particular have been associated with survival in conditions as diverse as Alzheimer disease, stroke, and epilepsy, and this study extends this association to "normal" aging.
A revised CES-D measure of depressive symptoms and a DSM-based measure of major depressive episodes in the elderly.
TLDR
Two new abbreviated versions of standard measures of depression, a revised eight-item Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) and a short-form Composite International Diagnostic Interview (short-form CIDI), were examined and both measures were associated with self-report of physician diagnosis and psychiatric treatment.
