Chau R, et al. – In a sample of adults aged ≥ 65 years from 15 long-term-care facilities in Melbourne, Australia, researchers assessed existing evidence regarding depression among older adults in long-term care for additional clarity. They focused on modifiable risk factors and further identified new variables. Significant associations of changes in pain, sleep disturbance, social support and person-environment fit, with changes in depression score, were identified by Generalized Estimating Equations. These factors were recognized as modifiable risk factors. They suggested that interventions targeting these risk factors should be employed in subjects with clinically significant symptoms on these risk factors for depression.
