Abstract:
103 college students took the Geriatric Depression Scale and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale along with five measures of life satisfaction. The correlation between scores on the first scales was .66. Both depression scales had moderate negative correlations (−.34 to −.71) with each measure of life satisfaction. However, on every measure of life satisfaction, the correlation with scores on the Geriatric Depression Scale was higher than with those on the CES-Depression Scale.

Abstract:
Backgrounds: Hearing loss occurs in a third of the elderly population worldwide but is often overlooked. Studies have shown that hearing loss increases the risk of depression in the elderly population and reduces the quality of life. Objective: The objective of this study is to prove the relationship between hearing loss and depression in geriatrics and to assess the effect of physical illness in geriatric patients that may cause depression. Methods: This type of research is observational-analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted at the geriatrics polyclinic, Dr. Soetom

Abstract:
Purpose of the study. The Depression in Old Age Scale (DIA-S), a new screening tool for geriatric depression, was designed to be both practical and appropriate for use with medically ill geriatric patients. The diagnostic accuracy of the DIA-S and the short form of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS15) were tested and compared. Methods. Using the Montgomery and Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) as gold standard, the scales were validated with a sample of N = 331 geriatric inpatients. Results.

Abstract:
Depression in the elderly is more common than once thought, especially in nursing home settings, where as many as 25% of residents can exhibit signs and symptoms of depression. Depression in the elderly can have a significant impact on overall health and desired outcome. The depressed elderly patient has been shown to have worsened prognosis of concomitant medical conditions, increased use of health care, decreased recovery time, and more likelihood to experience accelerated physical deterioration. Suicide represents the most serious complication of depression of the older depressed individual

Two hypotheses were tested: (1) The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) would be less affected by age in an older alcoholic group than in a younger one. (2) In comparison with other depression scales—Beck Depression Inventory, Depression Scale of MMPI, and Dysthymic Scale of Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory—the Geriatric Depression Scale would be the one least affected by age in the older group. To test these hypotheses two groups were formed, containing 36 and 37 subjects, whose mean ages were 32.50 and 53.98 yr.

Abstract:
The recognition and diagnosis of elderly depression has been the focus of much research over the last 20 years (Brink, 1982; Goodstein, 1985; Klerman, 1983). One problem in diagnosing depression in the elderly has been adequate assessment devices that are sensitive, specific, and predictable with this population (Yesavage et al., 1983). One assessment device developed specifically for the elderly is the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (Brink et al., 1982;Yesavage et al., 1983). This depression scale has yielded high reliability and validity with other self-rating depression scales. In recent

Abstract:
The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) was originally designed as a measure for screening depression among elderly medical patients. Although this instrument is well validated among a general medical population, it has never been evaluated with specific regard to cardiac patients, the largest single group of medical patients over 40 years of age. A general cardiac sample of 655 patients completed the GDS within 10 weeks of the cardiac event. Exploratory factor analyses were conducted on the main sample, then on several subgroups of participants with regard to diagnostic category, gender, and age

Abstract:
Early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias in the elderly is critical for improving treatment methods and is a necessary component for improving public health interventions. One of the earliest and most common behavioral syndromes of AD is apathy and is associated with executive dysfunction. Apathy in AD is often misdiagnosed as depression due to an overlap in symptoms. Studies that have found depression to be associated with executive dysfunction have not always controlled for the presence of apathy. The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) is a widely used instrument desig
