Full textPsychomotor retardation (PMR) is a fundamental feature of depressive illness but also atypical clinical presentations of depression in the elderly. It is poorly recognized because of the common confusion with age-related slowing. We hypothesized that PMR associated to depression differed from normal aging. We performed two reaction time experiments using an additive factor analysis in healthy and depressed old individuals. Age-related slowing affects all the central nervous system information processing stages while only response-selection and motor-adjustment stages are functional targets prolonged by depression. As in younger adults, depression spares stimulus preprocessing in old individuals. Then, we validated the Retardation Rating Scale (RRS) in 165 old inpatients (107 were depressed). The RRS, an objective tool that measures psychic and motor aspects of PMR, shows good psychometric properties and allows a better detection of depression than standard depression scales in this geriatric sample. We also validated a short version of the RRS, considering the four most relevant items. The identification and the measure of the PMR in geriatric depression will improve our knowledge about neurobiological pathways underlying depressive illness, the treatment efficacy evaluation and the detection of depression in the elderly

Full textThe specificities of dépression in thé elderly, on both thé cognition and emotional level, may render its diagnosis difficult. Dépression in young patients is characterized by thé présence of bias directed toward négative information. No study has assessed thé attentional bias in thé elderly depressed although aging changes thé emotional information processing. The aûn of this thesis was to identify thé characteristics of thé emotional information processing in depressed elderly subjects by studying thé performance of saccadic Systems and visual explorations stratégies through thé use of eye-tracking techniques. Our results showed that depressed patients had a higher reaction time in prosaccade and antisaccade tasks as well as higher error rates than controls. Moreover, thé higher time cost of inhibition (i.e. antisaccade reaction time minus prosaccade reaction time) suggests that thèse processes may imply a spécifie impairment of inhibition processes. This altération was found to be linked to dépression severity. The analysis of oculomotor performance on thé présentation of emotional picture pairs has highlighted a positivity bias in elderly depressed patients compared to healthy controls. The use of eye-tracking technologies has been found to be useful to specify thé link between ageing and dépression on neurophysiological and emotional levels. In this thesis, we also discuss thé methodological limits related to thé use of thèse techniques as well as thé potential clinical applications in thé differential diagnosis between dépression and Alzheimer's disease, or between unipolar and bipolar dépression, as well as in thé prédiction of treatment response

Full textDepression is an underdiagnosed complication of dementia, both disorders sharing some manifestations. The aim of this cross-sectional observational study was to examine the prevalence of depression among nursing home residents suffering from dementia, and to evaluate the sensitivity of detection of this disorder by the primary care team. Clinical profiles were assessed using the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV, the Neuropsychiatric Inventory, the Quality of life in Alzheimer’s Disease Scale and the Mini Mental State Examination. Among 116 residents from 10 nursing homes, 17 cases of depression were diagnosed, from which only 7 had been detected by the clinical staff. Depression cases had a significantly poorer quality of life and a worse score on the NPI-NH distress scale. Overall, this study reveals that depressive syndromes are under-diagnosed in nursing homes residents and have a negative impact on quality of life of patients.

Full textThis thesis is a contribution to the understanding of adaptive capacity of depressed and non-depressed aging adults. To achieve this goal we have used an experimental method and a clinical observation: a six-year longitudinal case study. The relationship between depression and cognitive flexibility is assessed by means of shifting and fluency tasks applied to two groups of non-dement depressed and non-depressed elderly who reside in nursing institutions.The quantitative and qualitative analysis shows a decrease in cognitive flexibility which highlights a negative correlation between depression and flexibility scores. We establish an analogy between daily adaptive behaviours and quantitative data, and we propose a theoretical mechanism that explains the adaptive behaviour of the elderly. Our case study offers a deeper understanding of the relationship between depression and cognitive flexibility, particularly the improvements of adaptive capacities due to a decrease of depression

The Pichot and Al's (1984) self-evaluation symptoms of depression questionnaire and the Levenson's internal-external locus of control scale (1973). The factor analysis in both old people and students subjects showed the same factor that others researchers were fonded. Our results support the hypothesis that there is a significant positive relationship between the level of depression and the belief in an external control and a significant negative relationship between the level of depression and the belief in an internal control, both for the old people and the students. Analysis of variance shown that the students are more external than the old people. The elderly are more internal and shown less depression. The relationship between depression and factors socio-cultural shown that some factors are significantly associed to depression but some others not

Full textObjectives First, we sought to identify HC and ERC volume reductions in aMCI and LLD with a narrative review. Second, we explored whether or not there existed differences in terms of HC and EC volume reduction between aMCI/D+, aMCI/D- and LLD. Method We examined the extent of HC and EC atrophy as reported in 16 aMCI and 10 LLD studies. Then, we proceeded to the pilot project. HC and EC were manually traced by an expert and statistical analyses (ANOVA, one-way ANOVA, regression model, classical regression and boostrap regression) were done by a statistician. Results The narrative review revealed that total HC volume reduction was significant in 92% of aMCI and 50% of LLD studies. The pilot project showed that left HC was considerably smaller in aMCI/D- than in LLD and aMCI/D+. Similarly, right HC was smaller in aMCI/D- than in LLD and aMCI/D+. Left EC had a lower mean value in aMCI/D+ than aMCI/D- and LLD. Right EC appeared to be approximately equal between aMCI/D+, aMCI/D- and LLD. Conclusion Total HC volume reduction was significant in almost 100% of aMCI and 50% of LLD studies of the narrative review.Volume loss of total and lateralized HC in LLD studies seemed fairly similar to that of aMCI studies in terms of percentage. Post hoc power analysis revealed that the number of participants in each group should be increased to detect significant volumetric differences. One of the goals of this pilot project was to provide recommendations in order to improve the design of the research before a larger experiment.

Full textIntroduction : The purpose of this thesis is to review all the studies focusing on alcohol and tobacco addictions in elderly, on one hand, and on emotional difficulties : emotional recognition deficit, alexithymia, affective mentalization in elderly as well as among addicted subjects, on the other hand. This study seems to be the first focusing in a specific manner on emotional deficits among elderly people addicted to alcohol and/or tobacco.Method : 30 elderly persons (n=30) living at home or in institution (Hospitalized establishment for dependant elderly people, retirement home) replied to: a socio-demographic data questionnaire, a scale assessing anxious and depressive symptomatology (HADS), a scale measuring addiction intensity to tobacco (QMICA-T) and to alcohol (QMICA-A), a scale measuring alexithymia (TAS-20), a test assessing affective mentalization and alexithymia (TDHE) and a test of emotions recognition for elderly (TEPA). This study is part of a dual approach including quantitative and qualitative methods.Results : Principles results have shown :(a) an emotional vulnerability, as well as an emotional process mode predominated by alexithymia and the existence of an anxious disorder in this population; alexithymia and age predict a high addiction intensity to alcohol while an anxious and alexithymic symptomatology would predict a high addiction intensity to tobacco. (b) difficulties to recognize facial emotions in elderly addicted to alcohol and tobacco, as well as a certain preservation of recognition of positive emotions of joy; (c) an original and innovating method to assess emotional discourse (the TDHE) inspired by research work on mentalization and focused on the occurrence of verbal productions' emotional lexical (Lecours et al., 2009); alexithymic subjects have a less developed emotional lexical and inversely proportional to their addiction intensity to alcohol and tobacco; (d) Through the projective tree test (TDA), confirmation that the tree takes shapes according to pathologies as stated in several studies. Thus, our results show a link between addiction intensity to tobacco and "alexithymia" lines, and match with those found with quantitative scales; the TDA permitting here to complete results that have been put forward through scales.Conclusion The achievement of our work suggests clinical implications for professionals working with this public : a personalized care and which is specific to problems of elderly with an addiction to alcohol-tobacco, taking into consideration emotions recognition, affects verbalization or even proposition of relaxation exercises, emotions management exercises, emotions learning and verbalization exercises, or even of a therapeutic group work based on complementary approaches (cognitive, interpersonal, psychodynamic). Implications also might appear in prevention of psychological aspects, especially emotional aspects with this population

Full textAssociated with a wide range of symptoms with potential fatal consequences, depression is a complex and multifactorial disease whose prevalence is steadily increasing and is particularly worrying in the older adults. Traditionnal antidepressant treatments are not always efficient. They are responsible for numerous adverse side effects and drug interactions, particularly in this population already taking multiple medications. Therefore, developping research for preventing the depression still appears prudent, and diet, a potential modifiable factor throughout life, emerges as a promising avenue. However, its relationship with depression has been underexplored, especially in the older adults. The aim of this thesis was to identify dietary and nutritional determinants associated with a lower risk of depressive symptomatology (DS) in older adults from the 3-Cités cohort, a large French prospective population-based cohort of people aged 65 and over enrolled in 1999 and followed for more than 18 years. Two complementary approaches were used to meet the objective: i) the study of dietary and nutritional patterns estimated from a food frequency questionnaire and 24-hour recall administered in 2001, and ii) the study of plasma nutritional biomarkers collected in 1999. DS was defined by a score ≥16/60 on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression (CES-D) depressive symptom frequency scale and/or by the use of antidepressant treatment assessed every 2 years until 2018. Firstly we explored the adherence to the Mediterranean diet using the MEDI-LITE score. We did not observe any association with the risk of DS, except for treatment-resistant or untreated DS, for which higher MEDI-LITE adherence was borderline associated with a reduced risk of DS. Secondly, we explored nutritional patterns using principal component analysis, incorporating 40 nutrients selected for their potential 'antidepressant' properties based on the literature. We reported that higher adherence to a 'mixed' nutritional pattern, characterised by high intakes of magnesium, hydroxybenzaldehydes, stilbenes, dihydroflavonols, vitamin B6, lignans, tyrosols, vitamins B9, B3, B5, B1 and proanthocyanidins, was significantly associated with a lower risk of DS. Furthermore, focusing on polyphenol intake patterns, we also observed that higher adherence to a pattern characterised by high intakes of flavanol monomers and theaflavins, was significantly associated with a lower risk of DS. Finally, we showed that higher plasma levels of lipid ratios of total carotenoids, total xanthophylls and zeaxanthin (combined with lutein or not), were significantly associated with a lower risk of developing DS. Our findings suggest a beneficial role of a mixed diet in preventing the incidence of DS in autonomous older adults from the general population. Following confirmation by further prospective epidemiological studies, these results could contribute to the development of nutritional guidelines to prevent the risk of depression. Such recommandations could be personalised notably given the considerable interindividual variability. Finally, these potential combinations of protective nutrients offer new avenues for relevant nutritionnal formulations, the efficacy of which would require clinical testing

Full textThe first objective of this study was to describe subjective burden (emotional experience of the caregiving role), objective burden (changes in responsibilities or activities since the elder’s injury) and psychological distress (anxious and depressive symptoms) of close relatives of elderly persons sustaining traumatic brain injury (TBI), at four months post-injury. The second objective was to explore if difficulties reported by relatives regarding the injured person, perceived social support, the age of the relative and the severity of TBI are predictors for subjective burden and psychological distress of these relatives. Telephone interviews and questionnaires were administered by trained doctoral students to a sample of 46 close relatives of elderly persons with mild to severe TBI. Results show that a significant proportion of participants (27%) experience a significant subjective burden, almost all (88%) report spending more time caring for their loved one or have less time for themselves in at least one area of life and almost a quarter suffer from significant anxious and/or depressive symptoms. Exploratory regression analyses suggest that a higher number of difficulties perceived in the injured elder and a lower perceived social support are good predictors of subjective burden and psychological distress. A younger age predicts higher subjective burden, but the severity of the TBI neither predicts subjective burden nor psychological distress. To our knowledge, this is the first quantitative study providing information on caregivers of elderly sustaining a TBI. These results provide a better understanding of their caregiving experience and contribute to guide clinical interventions (p.ex. offer a realistic prognosis and supporting the development of coping strategies) and underline the need of more longitudinal quantitative and qualitative research.

Full textCompte tenu du nombre grandissant de cas de maladie d'Alzheimer (MA), il est impératif d'accroître notre compréhension de sa phase prodromique. Cette thèse vise à contribuer aux travaux dans ce domaine en caractérisant le fonctionnement cognitif d’individus à risque de développer la MA : ceux avec un trouble cognitif léger amnésique (TCLa), une dépression gériatrique (DEP) et un TCLa avec symptômes dépressifs concomitants (TCLa/D+). Leurs performances sont comparées à celles de participants contrôles (CONT) dans trois expériences. La première explore l’influence de la valence émotionnelle des stimuli sur les performances mnésiques pour des mots positifs, négatifs et neutres. Comparativement aux mots neutres, les CONT et TCLa/D+ rappellent davantage de mots émotionnels (positifs et négatifs), les TCLa rappellent davantage de mots positifs et les DEP rappellent davantage de mots négatifs. Dans la deuxième expérience, l’influence de la valence et de l’intensité émotionnelles des stimuli sur les performances mnésiques est testée à l’aide d’images. Les résultats révèlent une association entre les images émotionnelles et les performances des TCLa et CONT, et entre les images négatives et les performances des TCLa/D+. La valence n'est pas associée au rappel chez les DEP. Par ailleurs, l’intensité émotionnelle des stimuli est positivement associée au rappel d’images positives chez les CONT, et au rappel d’images négatives chez les TCLa/D+ et DEP. L’intensité est négativement associée au rappel d’images positives chez les TCLa. Dans une troisième étude comparant ces groupes sur leurs connaissances sémantiques d’objets biologiques et manufacturés, seuls les TCLa/D+ présentent des déficits, surtout en ce qui concerne les objets biologiques. En revanche, les TCLa et DEP obtiennent des résultats normaux. Globalement, cette thèse démontre que les individus avec TCLa, TCLa/D+ et DEP présentent des caractéristiques distinctes au plan de la mémoire épisodique et de la mémoire sémantique. Les conclusions ont d’importantes retombées théoriques et cliniques. Notamment, elles éclaircissent les caractéristiques sémiologiques de chaque groupe et appuient la notion qu’ils correspondent à des syndromes distinguables sur le plan du fonctionnement cognitif. De plus, les résultats contribuent à clarifier la nosologie du TCLa/D+, ce qui ouvre la voie aux recherches futures sur les traitements adaptés à cette condition.
As the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) rises in Canada and worldwide, it is imperative to increase our understanding of its prodromal stages. This dissertation contributes to the body of research in this field by exploring the cognitive characteristics of three at-risk groups: those with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), late-life depression (LLD) and aMCI with concomitant depressive symptoms (aMCI/D+). The cognitive performance of these groups is compared to that of healthy elderly control subjects (CONT) on three experimental tasks. The first explores the influence of emotional valence on memory for positive, negative and neutral word lists. Results reveal that, compared to neutral words, CONT and aMCI/D+ subjects recall more emotional (positive and negative) words, aMCI subjects recall more positive words, and LLD subjects recall more negative words. The second experiment investigates the effect of valence and intensity on memory for emotional images. Results show that valence is associated with recall of positive and negative images in the aMCI and CONT groups, and with recall of negative images in the aMCI/D+ group. Valence is not associated with recall in the LLD group. In addition, the stimuli’s emotional intensity is positively associated with recall of positive images in CONT subjects, but negatively associated with recall of positive images in aMCI subjects. Intensity is positively associated with recall of negative images in aMCI/D+ and LLD subjects. A third experiment compares these same groups on their semantic knowledge of biological and man-made objects. Only aMCI/D+ are impaired on this task, and their perofmrance is particularly impaired for biological items. Performance of aMCI and LLD groups, on the other hand, is normal. This dissertation provides compelling evidence that aMCI, aMCI/D+ and LLD individuals present distinct cognitive characteristics, namely on tests of episodic and semantic memory. The results have important theoretical and clinical implications, in that they contribute to clarifying the semiological features of each group, and corroborate the notion that each of these syndromes is cognitively distinct. In addition, these results contribute to clarifying the nosology of aMCI/D+, which paves the way for future research exploring treatment opportunities for this condition.

Full textAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a major public health issue. The key to reducing the burden ofdementia in the coming decades lies in large part in primary and secondary prevention.Prevention interventions target lifestyle habits and modifiable risk factors for AD, includingphysical inactivity. Interventions in physical activity (PA) have been studied in the last fewyears in older aduts with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). For a high proportion of MCIcases, MCI is a prodromal phase of AD and could represent a favorable window of action toprevent AD. PA interventions in MCI are promising, but research on the subject is limited,presents challenges in terms of participants' adherence to the intervention, pays little attentionto the psychological effects of these interventions and generally excludes people withdepressive symptoms. Yet, depressive symptoms are frequent in MCI cases and they increasethe risk of progressing to AD. This thesis aims to study a 12-week PA intervention in olderadults with MCI and concomitant neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS, including depressivesymptoms). The first objective of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility and tolerance ofthis intervention. The attrition rate and adhesion rate are documented for this purpose. Focusgroup interviews explore how the implementation of the PA program contributes toadherence of seniors with MCI and NPS. These data are the subject of a thematic analysis.The second objective is to make a preliminary comparison of the effects of two PA programs(cardiovascular, resistance). The effects of PA are objectively measured on cognition,psychological state, and quality of life. The outcome variables are subjected to principalcomponent analysis (PCA) in order to derive composite scores. A repeated measures Anova(Treatment x Time) is performed for each composite score. Effect sizes (partial eta-square)are calculated for each Anovas’result. The results of this thesis suggest that a PA programpresents a challenge in terms of recruitment, but that the program is feasible and tolerable interms of adherence to the intervention. The thematic analysis helps identify several factorsthat may contribute to participant adherence. The factors facilitating participation include thefollowing sub-themes: (a) social relationships with the group and the instructors, (b) theservices offered or sought regarding evaluation and intervention (c) the effects of the trainingprogram on physical and psychocognitive states, (d) favorable attitudes and realisticexpectations towards the study and (e) a fixed PA schedule that fits easily into the weeklyschedule. The dissatisfaction factors group together the following sub-themes: (a) vinsufficient communication of information, (b) difficult request upon their memory and (c)imposed quantity and type of PA. Regarding the preliminary psychocognitive effects of thetwo PA programs, it should be noted that the present study focuses primarily on effect sizesand not on the significance level. The effect sizes suggest that the cardiovascular trainingprogram leads to greater improvements than the resistance training program regarding: (a)the two composite scores of executive functions (Component 1, significant effect, large effectsize; Component 2, moderate effect size) and (b) the composite score of episodic memory(small effect size). The resistance training program leads to greater improvements than thecardiovascular training program regarding the two composite scores of NPS and quality oflife (Component 1, moderate effect size; Component 2, large effect size). Conclusions aboutthe programs’effects on attention are limited and discussed in more details in this thesis. Insum, these results will allow adjustment of the PA interventions for a further large scale studywith the aim of demonstrating the benefits of PA in secondary prevention of AD.

Full textThe aim of the present research was to contribute in better understanding the depression in the elderly and more specifically to study the relationships between depression and some behavior (pleasant and unpleasant activities and events), cognitive (interpersonal problem-solving ability) and socio-cultural in nature factors. 277 valid, French old women (78. 75 years of mean age) living in homes for the aged have participated in this study. During the interview the qd2 (depressive symptomatology questionnaire) the qea and the qed (pleasant and unpleasant events questionnaires respectively) and the meps (interpersonal problem-solving procedure) were administered. The factorial structure of these measures such as found in our sample is satisfactory. Generally the results of this research are positives and confirm our hypothesis. Thus, more an aged individual is depressed a) more the level of its pleasant activities and events (frequency, degree of subjective enjoyability, received positive reinforcement) decreased b) more the level of its unpleasant activities and events (frequency degree of subjective averseness, received punishment) increased and c) more the cognitive problem-solving ability is inefficacious. Together, these behavior and cognitive variables account for about 50% of the variance in predicting depression. .

Full textObjectives: Little objective and nationally representative data are available concerning the influence of cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND) on utilization of healthcare services. The main objective was to compare the use of healthcare services over three years, between elders with current or incident CIND and those without CIND. A second objective was to evaluate the moderating effect of depression and anxiety on utilization of healthcare services. Methods: Cross-sectional and longitudinal data from a population-based survey of 2265 older adults living in Quebec were used. CIND was linked with medical records from public health insurance plan. Multinomial logistic regressions adjusted for relevant socio-demographic, social network and health-related confounders were conducted for each service. Interaction between CIND and depression/anxiety was also examined. Main results: Current CIND was a predictor of longer anxiolytic/sedative/hypnotic medication use. Incident CIND led to longer hospital stay. Depression raised the likelihood of frequenting geriatricians, psychiatrists or neurologists and emergency department, but lessened the likelihood of visiting general practitioners. The addition of the psychiatric conditions to the incident CIND did not increase the likelihood of consuming antidepressants, while the incident CIND cases without psychiatric conditions increased this likelihood. Discussion: Compared to older adults without CIND, older adults with CIND have a distinct utilization of healthcare services. Evaluation of cognition and psychiatric conditions at key moments could allow a more efficient use of health resources.

Full textCurrently, there is essentially two diagnostic choices to explain cognitive impairment in the elderly: "depression"or " Alzheimer's Disease" (AD) the later being a clinical diagnostic that cannot be formally confirmed duringlife. Depression, whose spectral empowerment and biologisation allows the reductionist biomedical model tointegrate depression into pre-dementia chapters of AD, is presented as the modern and exclusive version ofpseudodementia that defines a potentially reversible non-organic dementia state. Our research shows that thisissue is complex and that several factors, unidentified so far, participated in a distortion of the psychiatricconcept of pseudodementia. The first factor is a lack of knowledge and a poor understanding of thepseudodementia primary paradigm: the Psychogene Pseudodemenz of German psychiatry (late 19th - early20th).The second factor is an incomplete and revised interpretation of the British secondary paradigm - theKiloh’s Pseudo-dementia (1961) - where the concept of depressive pseudodementia is introduced.The thirdfactor is an application of the " Alzheimer’s disease movement" (1975-1985), which has led, through the "dementia syndrome of depression " of American psychiatry, to the rise of the third paradigm : depression. The“Alzheimer’s disease movement” cancelled the possibility to use a conceptual framework within whichetiologies of dementia and psychopathological dimension of pseudodementia can be thought.This issue isbecoming increasingly important in the current context of the promotion of early diagnosis and preclinicaldiagnosis of AD.Our research, which supports an integrated approach to aging, proposes a new theoretical andpractical framework able to participate to the reformulation of aging issues and therefore on political, economicand social choices. Based on a qualitative analysis of case series, we show that Pseudodementia is closely tied toneurotic and psychotic inhibition, including depressive presentation but not limited to it. Today more than everthe notion of pseudodementia is required in the care of the elderly

Full textIntroduction: Thanks to the progress of treatments and early diagnosis, cancers are better cured. However, during the disease and its treatments, patients often experience fatigue which could have an impact on disease progression and survival. Medical and psycho-social factors are associated with fatigue, which makes them important to evaluate in order to consider them properly when taking care of patients. Cancer prevalence is higher in the elderly, who are more affected by fatigue. This fatigue increases with frailty, characterized by a state of weakness, slow walking speed or unintentional weight loss. This is why we chose to focus on this specific populationThe objective of this thesis is to study the role of several psychosocial factors (coping, social support, depression and routinization) associated with fatigue in frail elderly patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.Method: This research, entitled Psyfrail, is an ancillary study to a randomized trial named Frail. The 50 patients included, with a mean age of 82 years old, were evaluated in terms of fatigue, depression, coping, social support and routinization during a meeting with a psychologist before the start of treatment (T1), in the middle (T2) and at the end (T3). Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyzes were conducted to highlight the factors associated with fatigue at different measurement times and with its evolution.Results: The use of problem-focused coping at T1 is associated with a decrease in general fatigue and reduced activity scores at T1 and a decrease in the reduced motivation score at T2. Routinization increases mental fatigue and reduced motivation scores at T2. Social support availability is associated with a smaller increase in the reduced motivation score over time. The decrease in general fatigue is reduced in patients with high level of emotion focused coping. Depression is associated with a higher fatigue at T1 and T2.Conclusion: The promotion of appropriate strategies to help patients cope with the disease and the treatment of depression could have a positive impact on reducing fatigue

Full textIn our study, we are interested in the elderly people originating in the Maghreb who live in France, during their retirement, after having immigrant and continue to live in hearth SONACOTRA (become ADOMA). More specifically, we selected men considered as isolated because although married in their country of origin, with the responsability a woman and children, they have a single life, here, in France.We used semi-directing maintenance and the Geriatric Depressive Scale as evaluation tools. We selected six hearths in the Rhône-Alpes area for their high percentage of Maghrebians among their residents. The talks proceeded from February 2007 to March 2009.The signing of the scale of geriatric depression took place one week before their departure for the country of origin and one week after their return. It allowed to confirm the importance of the depression in our sample. And, a decrease of the scores (thus an improvement of the thymie) between both signings is noted for the majority of the subjects. From this simple observation, we can deduce that the journeys in the country of origin have an effect's revalorizing on these men as we had emitted it in our hypothese. It appears, on this subject, that it is the success of a project, in the country of origin which has a positive effect on their moral. By doing this they recreated an anchoring professional's in their country at the time when this one is lost, in France. This realization is, moreover, the result of the project of origin since their primary goal was to work, here, to build over there

Full textIn France, the number of suicide deaths is estimated at around 10,000 per year, 30% corresponds to elderly people. Remaining a taboo, it is still a difficult question to directly address to the public. This thesis focuses on the depression and addiction cognitive conceptions that are involved in psychological processes related to the decision for the suicide act. It furhter aims at enabling the identification of some age-related particularities. We think that certain beliefs may play an important role in the actual moment of carrying out the act. We have attempted to identify them by using a questionnaire specifically designed for this purpose. We sought to determine whether some beliefs are different or more prevalent among elderly people, partly explaining their large number of suicides. A group of validated scales (Beck Depression Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, , and Beck Hopelessness Scale) and the Suicidal Ambivalence Scale that we have developed were administered to a sample of 274 subjects aged 18 to 97 years old. Our statistical analysis showed that subjects adhered differently to certain kinds of beliefs, depending on their life experiences and age

Full textThe aim of this thesis relying on the PAQUID study was to better understand the natural history of neuropsychological impairments and their consequences on complex functional activities on preclinical stage of dementia, this in order to develop a better screening strategy of subjects at high risk of developing dementia. The first section of our work leaded to better identify the cognitive processes impaired in the phase preceding dementia. The results of the Articles 1 and 2 suggest that the controlled processes are deteriorated early in the preclinical phase of dementia. In the second part of this work, we studied the 4 Instrumental Activities of Daily Living and their relation with neuropsychological tests. The results of the articles 3 and 4 allowed to better understand the cognitive processes related to each of these IADL, and to better describe the evolution of each IADL in the 5 years preceding the clinical phase of dementia. In the last section, we determined for clinical practice a strategy of detection of subjects at high risk of developing dementia (article 5). Besides, we also defined a short-form of a depression scale which could be used in general medical practice ; depression is indeed a frequent differential diagnosis of dementia, but can also be a early sign of dementia (article 6)

Full textEffective interventions such as physical activity leading to disability prevention in the elderly are a public health priority. Disability outcome measures should ideally include objective measures such as physical performance tests. This work demonstrates the test-retest reliability of a new walking test (the 400-m usual pace walk test), the association between calf circumference and muscle-related disability and the predictive value of the short physical performance battery on mortality. Physical activity appears to be an effective strategy to delay disability. This work adds further evidence, especially in the frail elderly population (patients with Alzheimer's disease, obesity or malnutrition) of its health benefits
