What symptoms of depression predict mortality in community-dwelling elders?
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to determine which symptoms of depression are most likely to increase the risk of mortality in a biracial sample of older adults. The findings of the study suggest that subjective views of well-being might be more important predictors of mortality in older adults than the classic symptoms of depression.
