Abstract:
ABSTRACTBackground: It is well documented that fall risk among elderly people is associated with poor health and depression. In this study, we set out to examine the combined effects of medical condition and depression status on fall incidents among community-dwelling elderly people.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out to investigate the fall history of community-dwelling elders involving 360 participants. Those who had experienced at least two falls over the previous year, or one injurious fall, were defined as “fallers.” The Geriatric Depression Scale-15 was used as a screening instrument for depression status.Results: Based on a multivariate logistic regression and stratification analysis, depression was found to interact with various medical conditions on fall risk. In comparison with the non-depressive reference group, a six-fold fall risk was discernible among depressed elders with polypharmacy, while a five-fold risk was found among depressive elders using ancillary devices, along with a four-fold risk among depressive elders with diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Finally, arthritis was found to produce a nine-fold risk of falls among such populations.Conclusions: These findings suggest that greater emphasis should be placed on the integration of depression screening as an element of fall risk assessment in elderly people.

Abstract:
Depression in eldery couldn’t be easily detected because physical complaint was more often than emotional complaint. In severe case, depression could cause suicidal behaviour (Irawan, 2013). Therefore, elderly need assistance to deal with depression, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is one of the solution. Research design is pre-experimental design, using pre-test and post-test design. Before intervention, Geriatric Depression Scale test were given to one group of elder people. EFT intervention were given two times for four weeks, and Geriatric Depression Scale test were tested after intervention. Population was elder people who fulfill inclusion criterias, and 30 elderly were obatained. The significancy result was 0,000 (α = 0,05), it could be inferred that EFT has a strong relationship to depression scale. EFT could significantly reduce depression scale in elderly, so it can bes used effectively.

Abstract:
Abstract Although the prevalence of depressive disorders among the elderly is lower than among the younger population, the presence of significant symptoms of depression is common in this group. Studies report that participation in social, educational and leisure activities is related to fewer depressive symptoms in this population. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of depression among elderly participants of an Open University for the Third Age, in terms of the time studying. Methods: The study had a cross-sectional design and the participation of 95.2% (n=184) of total enrollers in the first half of 2010 on the activities of the Third Age Open University's School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities of the University of São Paulo. All participants answered a socio-demographic questionnaire and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15). Results: An association between studying time of over one semester at the University of the Third Age and a lower rate of depressive symptoms, was observed. Conclusion: Study time of over one semester was associated with less depressive symptoms, acting as a possible protective factor against depression.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThe diagnosis of dysthymic disorder was created in DSM-III and maintained in DSM-IV to describe a depressive syndrome of mild to moderate severity of at least two years’ duration that did not meet criteria for major depressive disorder. The prevalence of dysthymic disorder is approximately 2% in the elderly population where subsyndromal depressions of lesser severity are more common. Dysthymic disorder was replaced in DSM-V by the diagnosis of “persistent depressive disorder” that includes chronic major depression and dysthymic disorder. In older adults, epidemiological and clinical evidence supports the use of the term “dysthymic disorder.” In contrast to young adults with dysthymic disorder, older adults with dysthymic disorder commonly present with late age of onset, without major depression and other psychiatric disorders, and with a low rate of family history of mood disorders. They often have stressors such as loss of social support and bereavement, and some have cerebrovascular or neurodegenerative pathology. A minority has chronic depression dating from youth with psychiatric comorbidity similar to young adults with dysthymic disorder. In older adults, both dysthymic disorder and subsyndromal depression increase disability and lead to poor medical outcomes. Elderly patients with dysthymic disorder are seen mainly in primary care where identification and treatment are often inadequate. Treatment with antidepressant medication shows marginal superiority over placebo in controlled trials, and problem-solving therapy shows similar efficacy. Combined treatment and collaborative care models show slightly better results, but cost effectiveness is a concern. Further work is needed to clarify optimal approaches to the treatment of dysthymic disorder in elderly patients.

Abstract:
Depression is the most common psychiatric disorder among the elderly: it is present in 23-40% of community-dwelling elderly and in 25-80% of institutionalized elderly. Depressive symptoms are most prevalent in elderly women because they more readily seek healthcare services, are more vulnerable to stress and live longer than men. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of depression and its comorbidities in a long-stay nursing home (NH). METHODS: This retrospective, descriptive, epidemiological study was performed at a NH in southern Brazil and comprised the first part of a larger project to determine depression and its relationship with psychosocial factors in NH residents. Sociodemographic and medical data were obtained through the examination of medical files from November 2012 to January 2013. Depression was defined as the diagnosis reported by physicians in medical files and scores on the Geriatric Depression Scale (15-item version) above 5. Other clinical and psychiatric diagnoses were obtained from medical files. RESULTS: Out of a total of 142 elderly women, 51.4% had at least one psychiatric disorder, the most common being depression, affective bipolar disorder and mental retardation. Almost one third (32.3%) of the elderly women were depressed. The ward containing the highest number of cognitively and physically independent women contained 41.3% of the total depressed elderly. A total of 52.1% of all depressed elderly had other associated clinical or psychiatric disorders, with mental retardation and hypothyroidism being the most frequent. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of dementia was high in this NH. Further studies evaluating the psychosocial factors involved in depressed elders should be conducted in an effort to prevent depression and promote mental health in institutionalized elders.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Depression is very common in the elderly population. Physical exercise is one of the non-pharmacological procedures that promise to be a solution to improve the severity of depression. Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) plays a role in maintaining the survival of neuronal cells and in the regulation of synapse plasticity, affecting serotonin production in the hippocampus and thus the depressive symptoms. AIM: This study aimed to assess the role of physical exercise in affecting BDNF levels in elderly with depression. METHODS: Thirty-five elderly women (age ≥ 50 years) with depressive episodes based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-V criteria were enrolled as treatment group, and 35 elderly women without depressive episodes were enrolled as control group, and underwent physical exercise in the form of treadmill with a speed of 6 km/h for 15 minutes. Physical exercise was carried out once a day for 28 days. As much as 1 ml of blood from the study, subjects were obtained from the cubital vein before the exercise commenced. Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) serum level was assessed by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Data were presented in the form of mean ± SD. An independent T-test was used to test levels after exercise in the depression group compared to the non-depression group. RESULTS: Pre-exercise BDNF levels in the depression group were lower than the group of elderly without depression. Physical exercise increased BDNF production in both elderly groups with and without depression. In the depression group, the increasing percentage of BDNF level was higher compared to non-depressive elderly. CONCLUSION: The increasing percentage of BDNF level was found to be higher in depressive elderly performing physical exercise. Physical exercise may be beneficial in supporting the therapy of elderly with depression.

Abstract:
Elderly population in the world gradually increases both numerically and proportionally due to reasons like decrease in fertility and deaths. Elders generally have a respectable position in the Turkish family structure. However, there is a gradual increase in the number of elder individuals living in nursing homes due to reasons like the changes brought along modern life and participation of women in business life at higher rates, family bonds are gradually weakening especially in cities, and the social support factors, which are known to have an effect upon the depression risk of elder individuals, are gradually decreasing. Making interventions aimed at reviving the cultural features that would strengthen family relations and bonds, developing national action plans that would enable elder individuals to be physically active and the society to grow old healthfully and bringing various social activities and hobbies in elders will be considerably effective upon decreasing depressions that may be encountered in elder individuals.

Abstract:
BackgroundPrevious studies investigating the independent effects of neighbourhood-level factors on depression are rare within the Asian context, especially in the elderly population.MethodsData for 29 099 older adults aged 65 years or above who have received health examinations at elderly health centres in Hong Kong in 2008–2011 were analysed. Using multilevel regression modelling, the cross-sectional associations of neighbourhood social attributes (neighbourhood poverty, ethnic minority, residential stability and elderly concentration) and physical (built) attributes (recreational services and walkability) with depression outcomes (depressive symptoms and depression) after adjusting for individual-level characteristics were investigated. Gender interaction effects were also examined.ResultsNeighbourhood poverty was associated with both depressive symptoms and depression in the elderly. Neighbourhood elderly concentration, recreational services and walkability were associated with fewer depressive symptoms. The association between neighbourhood poverty and elderly depressive symptoms was found in women only and not in men.ConclusionPolicies aimed at reducing neighbourhood poverty, increasing access to recreational services and enhancing walkability might be effective strategies to prevent depression in older adults in the urban settings.

Abstract:
Background. Studies of recognition of depression in elderly (aged 65 or more) medical inpatients showed low recognition of depression by attending physicians. However, few studies have compared different measures of recognition of depression.
Objectives. To evaluate the validity of four recognition indicators and a global measure of recognition against a diagnosis of depression and the effect of patient characteristics on recognition of depression.
Methods. In a cohort of 264 medical inpatients 65 years and over (115 with major or minor depression, 78 with no depression), using data from two previous studies, sensitivities, specificities, and diagnostic odds ratios (DOR) of four indicators of recognition (Diagnosis, Symptoms, Treatment and Referral) and a global measure of recognition (any of the four indicators) were calculated. Stratified analysis was conducted to assess recognition by age, gender, history of depression, antidepressant use before admission, severity of depression, comorbidity, duration of hospitalization, disability and hospital of admission. The associations of patient characteristics with recognition were described among patients with major or minor depression using multiple logistic regression.
Results. Less than half of the patients were recognized according to the global measure of recognition. The indicator with the highest sensitivity was Treatment (27.8%, 95% CI: 20.0-37.0), while the indicator with the best specificity was Diagnosis (96.6%, 95% CI:91.9-98.7). The unadjusted DOR of global recognition was 2.6 (95% CI: 1.5, 4.4). Comorbidity, severity of depression, history of depression, duration of hospitalization, antidepressant use before admission and hospital of admission were significantly associated with global recognition.
Conclusion. Recognition of depression in elderly medical inpatients is low. Identifying factors that hinder recognition may guide interventions aimed at improving diagnosis and treatment of depression in elderly medical inpatients.

Abstract:
Introdução: Depressão ou morbidade depressiva, é uma doença mental complexa que inclui diferentes fenótipos e sintomas, com desfechos negativos na saúde. Os diferentes distúrbios psiquiátricos, assim como a presença de sintomas depressivos, têm sido associados a dieta e hábitos alimentares. Objetivos: Investigar a associação entre sintomas depressivos e aspectos relacionados ao estado nutricional e alimentação, em idosos residentes na da Zona Oeste do município de São Paulo. Métodos: O presente estudo é epidemiológico, transversal, de base comunitária, com 2.643 idosos com idade igual ou superior a 60 anos. Foram consideradas como variáveis: a- Dependente: Sintomas Depressivos pela escala proposta pelo Centro de Estudos Epidemiológicos para identificação de sintomas depressivos (CES-D); Variáveis independentes (preditores): Estado nutricional a partir das medidas antropométricas (peso e altura com posterior cálculo do IMC, e circunferência da cintura); Respostas a algumas questões relacionadas ao hábito de consumir determinados alimentos ou grupos de alimentos, e hábito de fazer as refeições diárias. Foram ainda avaliadas as variáveis relacionadas a presença de doenças crônicas (hipertensão, diabetes e hipercolesterolemia); características sócio econômicas e demográficas (critério de Classificação Econômica Brasileira (CCEB). As variáveis foram analisadas por regressão logística binária, adotando significativos os valores de p <0,05. Resultados: Foi encontrada uma prevalência elevada de sintomas depressivos (38%); associaram-se positivamente aos sintomas depressivos o hábito em consumir frutas, feijões, leites e derivados, azeite, água e vinho. Após ajustes pelas variáveis clínicas, socioeconômicas e demográficas, permaneceram significantes no modelo final o hábito em consumir leites e derivados, azeite e vinho; o hábito em realizar o almoços e jantar; relatar a presença de HAS; pertencer ao sexo feminino e estar divorciado ou separado. Conclusões: O presente estudo mostrou a existência de associações significativas entre sintomas depressivos e o hábito em consumir determinados alimentos (leite e derivados, azeite e vinho). Porém tais dados ainda não são totalmente conclusivos para a população brasileira. Novos estudos fazem-se necessários para esclarecer a relação entre o hábito em consumir determinados grupos de alimentos e a chance em desenvolver sintomas depressivos em idosos.
Background: Depression or depressive morbidity is a complex mental disease that includes different phenotypes and symptoms, with negative health outcomes. The different psychiatric disorders, as well as the presence of depressive symptoms, have been associated with diet and eating habits. Aims: To investigate the association between depressive symptoms and aspects related to nutritional status and feeding, of elderly residents from the West Zone of the city of São Paulo. Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional, community-based epidemiological study with 2,643 elderly individuals aged 60 or over. The following variables were considered: a-) Depedemt: Depressive Symptoms by the scale proposed by the Center for Epidemiological Studies to identify depressive symptoms (CES-D); Independent (predictors): Nutritional status from anthropometric measures (weight and height with subsequent calculation of BMI, and waist circumference); Answers to some questions related to the habit of consuming certain foods or food groups, and habit of making daily meals (Brazil, 2006). The variables related to the presence of chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia) were also evaluated; Socioeconomic and demographic characteristics (Brazilian Economic Classification, CCEB) (ABEP, 2011). The variables were analyzed by binary logistic regression, adopting significant values of p <0.05. Results: There was found a high prevalence of depressive symptoms (38%); The habit of consuming fruits, beans, milks and derivatives, olive oil, water and wine were positively associated with depressive symptoms. After adjusting for the clinical, socioeconomic and demographic variables, the habit of consuming milk and derivatives, olive oil and wine remained significant in the final model; The habit of holding lunch and dinner; Have HAS; Belong to the female sex and be divorced or separated. Conclusions: The present study showed the existence of significant associations between depressive symptoms and eating habits (milk and dairy products, olive oil and wine). However, these data are not yet fully conclusive for a Brazilian population. New studies are needed to define a relationship between the habit and consumption of food groups and a chance to develop depressive symptoms in the elderly.

Esta dissertação pretende estimar a prevalência de sintomas depressivos em idosos segundo três níveis de complexidade de atenção à saúde e estudar a co-ocorrência de sintomas depressivos e incapacidade funcional. No Brasil, a transição demográfica ocorreu de forma rápida e explosiva. À medida que o número de idosos cresce ocorre o aumento da prevalência de doenças crônicas e suas complicações. A habilidade funcional pode ser vista como uma medida de resumo do impacto geral das condições médicas no contexto do ambiente e do sistema de apoio social do indivíduo, e deve ser uma consideração importante em qualquer planejamento de saúde. Uma enfermidade associada a elevado grau de incapacidade funcional é a depressão. Entre os agravos de saúde mental, a depressão é um dos mais comuns e importantes problemas psiquiátricos entre indivíduos idosos. Trata-se de estudo transversal com tamanho amostral de 643 idosos com idade de 65 ou mais anos selecionados aleatoriamente e usuários de três serviços públicos de saúde com níveis crescentes de complexidade (primário, secundário e terciário). A prevalência de sintomas depressivos foi estimada a partir da EDG-15, já traduzida e validada para uso no Brasil. O nível de estado funcional foi definido conforme os escores dos instrumentos SF-36 e HAQ. A prevalência de sintomas depressivos na amostra total foi de 45,2% (IC=41,1 49,3). Estratificando por unidade, a prevalência foi de 35,3% no nível primário, 47,6% no nível secundário e 51,7% no nível terciário (p=0,004). As prevalências encontradas foram altas nos três níveis de complexidade de atendimento, inclusive na população de idosos da unidade básica de saúde, apesar de serem idosos mais independentes e mais saudáveis. A prevalência geral de sintomas depressivos aumentou à medida que o grau de incapacidade funcional também aumentou. A busca ativa por idosos com sintomas depressivos é importante em todos os níveis de complexidade de atendimento do sistema de saúde.
This dissertation aims to estimate the prevalence of depressive symptoms in the elderly according to three levels of complexity of health care and to study the co-occurrence of depressive symptoms and levels of functional capacity. In Brazil, the demographic transition occurred quickly and explosive. As the number of elderly grows there is an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases and their complications. The functional ability can be seen as a summary measure of overall impact of medical conditions in the context of environment and social support system of the individual, and should be an important consideration in any planning of health. A condition associated with a high degree of disability is depression. Among the grievances of mental health, depression is one of the most common and important psychiatric problems among the elderly. This is cross-sectional study with a sample size of 643 elderly aged 65 or over, randomly selected, and users of three public health services with increasing levels of complexity (primary, secondary and tertiary). The prevalence of depressive symptoms was estimated from the EDG-15, already translated and validated for use in Brazil. The level of functional status was defined as the scores of instruments SF-36 and HAQ. The prevalence of depressive symptoms in the total sample was 45.2% (CI = 41.1 to 49.3). Stratified by unit, the prevalence was 35.3% at primary level, 47.6% at secondary level and 51.7% at the tertiary level (p = 0.004). Prevalence rates were high in the three levels of complexity of care, including the elderly population in primary care unit, although the elderly are more independent and healthier. The overall prevalence of depressive symptoms increased as the degree of disability has also increased. The active search for elderly patients with depressive symptoms is important at all levels of complexity of care in the health system.

Abstract:
Depression in the elderly population is a growing concern in the United States. A decrease in depression in the elderly could lead to greater quality of life and reduced cost of healthcare services. The Sense of Coherence Theory was utilized as the theoretical foundation for this study. The purpose of this study was to use archival data to analyze differences in depression scores by groups based on prayer (yes/no) and over time (wave 1/wave 2 of data collection) when controlling for amount of time spent in prayer by category, gender, and ethnicity. The data were retrieved from the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging, which included interviews with adults aged 65 and over living in the coterminous United States. The first wave was collected in 2001 and consisted of 1,500 interviews. Wave 2 was collected in 2004 and consisted of 1,024 of the original participants. A mixed ANOVA was used to analyze the data. Results showed that change in depression over time differed depending on use of prayer after controlling for frequency of prayer. Comparisons of the 2 waves in the sample revealed that depression significantly decreased for people who prayed but not for people who did not pray. Implementing prayer as a supplemental form of treatment for depression may alter the way that some clinicians and providers conduct mental health treatment, reduce the emotional burden on families who are often the caretakers of the elderly, and become a cost-effective method of reducing depressive symptoms.
