Depression severity, but not cognitive impairment or frailty, is associated with disability in late-life depression

Clinical Gerontologist Jul 01, 2020

Morin RT, Insel P, Bickford D, et al. - Researchers investigated the correlation of cognitive impairment with disability, accounting for depression severity and frailty, among older adults with late-life depression (LLD). Among 78 community-dwelling older adults with LLD and without dementia (age M = 71.9; SD = 6.1), the average number of impaired cognitive tests was 2.0 (SD = 1.9); no impaired scores were reported in 28.2% of participants. They observed an association of only depression severity with increased disability in this sample. No predictive value of burden of cognitive impairment and frailty was observed for disability in this sample.
