Clinical and neuroimaging risk factors for cognitive decline in community ‐dwelling older adults living in rural Ecuador. A population‐based prospective cohort study.
ConclusionThis study provides evidence of cognitive decline in older adults living in a rural setting. Main targets for prevention should include glucose control, and the control of factors that are deleterious for the development of cortical atrophy and white matter hyperintensities.

Changes in the expression of worries, anxiety, and generalized anxiety disorder with increasing age: A population study of 70 to 85 ‐year‐olds
ConclusionsThe prevalence of ICD10 GAD tended to decrease with increasing age while the prevalence of DSM5 GAD remained stable. This difference was partly due to a decreased frequency of severe anxiety and autonomic arousal symptoms, and that worries increased, suggesting changes in the expression of GAD with increasing age.

Depression and excess mortality in the elderly living in low ‐ and middle‐income countries: Systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionsDepression is associated with excess mortality in the elderly living in low ‐ and middle‐income countries. In addition, this excess mortality does not differ substantially from that found in high‐income countries. This suggests environmental factors occurring in low‐ and middle‐income countries might not have a direct association with the excess mortality in the d epressed elderly.

An online investigation of the relationship between the frequency of word puzzle use and cognitive function in a large sample of older adults
ConclusionsThe frequency of word puzzle use is directly related to cognitive function in adults aged 50 and over. Future work needs to determine whether engaging in such puzzles can favourably influence cognitive trajectory with age. (Source: International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry)

Treatment adherence as a mediator of blood pressure control in Chinese older adults with depression

In addition to diagnosing and treating depression in their older adult patients, primary care physicians can optimize blood pressure control by identifying and addressing their patients ’ adherence to recommendations for HTN management.

Association of age and gender with anxiety disorders in older adults: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionsOur results suggest that the tendency for women to experience a greater prevalence of anxiety disorders remains present in older adults. Specific phobia was the only disorder to be less frequent with advancing age. This is likely to change with the DSM ‐5 criteria because the diagnostic manual now indicates that fear of falling is a possible type of specific phobia and fear of falling is generally more frequent in the oldest age groups.
