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

Abstract:

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. All subjects were administered the four depression scales and tests of cognitiv

Abstract:

Introduction: Older individuals, particularly those with chronic kidney disease (CKD), are highly susceptible to depression, although this population is often excluded from clinical studies. The use of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) can be useful in identifying symptoms of depression in this population. Objective: Our objective was to test the GDS as a tool for identifying factors associated with depression in older patients with CKD. Additionally, we aimed to identify which question had the best sensitivity/specificity in detecting moderate/severe symptoms. Methods: This cross-sectional

Abstract:

The identification of geriatric depression and anxiety is important because such conditions are the most common comorbid mood problems that occur in older adults. The goal of this study was to build a machine learning framework that identifies geriatric mood disorders of depression and anxiety using low-cost activity trackers and minimal geriatric assessment scales. We collected activity tracking data from 352 mild cognitive impairment patients, from 60 to 90 in age, by having them wear activity trackers on their wrist for more than a month. We then extracted the features of 24-h activity rhyt

Abstract:

The geriatric depression rating scale (GDRS) is a new interview-based depression rating scale designed for use with adults 60 years of age or older. The scale was developed to fill a need for an instrument that would be sensitive to the problems encountered in assessing depression among older adults. The GDRS was designed by using items from the self-report Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) as topic areas in a structured clinical interview similar to that of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD). The 35-item rating scale was administered to 68 older individuals with a range of affecti

Abstract:

Background: Geriatric depression, which has primarily been studied in high-income nations, is anticipated to become more prevalent as the world's old population grows. In low- and middle-income nations like Nepal, similar studies are rare. Objectives: This aimed to determine the prevalence of geriatric depression and its associated factors in 60 years and above age group of both sexes. Setting and Design: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in the Kalika rural municipality of Rasuwa district, Nepal. Methods and materials: Face to face interview technique and Geriatric Depress
