Background: Achieving remission in late-life depressive disorder is difficult; it is far better to prevent depression. In the last ten years there have been a number of clinical studies of the feasibility of prevention.
Methods: A limited literature review was undertaken of studies from 2000 specifically concerning the primary prevention of late-life depressive disorder or where primary prevention is a relevant secondary outcome.
Results: Selective primary prevention (targeting individuals at risk but not expressing depression) has been shown to be effective for stroke and macular degeneration but not hip fracture. It may also prove effective for the depression associated with caregiving in dementia. Emerging evidence finds effectiveness for indicated prevention (in those identified with subthreshold depression often with other risk factors such as functional limitation). Despite a number of promising risk factors (for example, diet, exercise, vascular risk factors, homocysteine and insomnia), universal prevention of late-life depression (acting to reduce the impact of risk factors at the population level) has no current evidence base, although a population approach might mitigate suicide.
Conclusion: Interventions which work in preventing late-life depression include antidepressant medication in standard doses and Problem-Solving Treatment. When integrated into a care model, such as collaborative care, prevention is feasible but more economic studies are needed.

Aims and Method
To compare two groups of older people with chronic schizophrenia or delusional disorder living in the community and in care homes, along the domains of morbidity suggested by prior research. From the case-load of one old age psychiatrist, 22 individuals with chronic psychosis residing in care homes were compared to 23 living in their own homes. The measures used were: the Positive and Negative Symptom Score (PANSS; Kay et al, 1987); the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE; Folstein et al, 1975); the Burvill Physical Illness Scale (Burvill et al, 1990); and an Activities of Daily Living Scale (IADL; Lawton et al, 1969).
ResultsThose in care homes had significantly higher PANSS scores (38.9 v. 21.0, P<0.01), largely accounted for by significantly more deficit symptoms (14.2 v. 5.6, P<0.01). They also had poorer cognition and significantly greater impairment in daily-life activities but their medical condition was not significantly worse. Most were seen only by a psychiatrist.
Clinical ImplicationsThe greater morbidity and disablement of older people with chronic schizophrenia or delusional disorder living in care homes is likely to be intrinsic to the disorder but does not appear to be taken into account in current service planning or delivery.

Aims and Method
The aim of the survey was to assess the attitudes of specialists in old age psychiatry towards the use of clozapine in elderly patients. A postal questionnaire was sent to a random sample of 155 consultant old age psychiatrists in England.
ResultsThe response rate was 87%. A majority of respondents felt that clozapine had a useful place in the treatment of elderly patients, although they expressed concerns about the lack of published data and about safety and practical difficulties in monitoring. Prescribers of clozapine (n=45) were significantly more positive about its role in treating older patients than those who had not used it.
Clinical ImplicationsThe findings suggest that familiarity with and confidence in clozapine and practical difficulties in monitoring are important determinants of its use in older patients.

Background. Depression and cognitive functioning have a negative impact on functional recovery after hip fracture surgery in older people, and the same has been suggested for pain and fear of falling. These variables, however, have never been studied together, nor has the timing of psychiatric assessment been taken into account.
Method. Two parallel, randomized controlled trials were undertaken aiming to prevent and treat depression after hip fracture surgery in older people. Multiple logistic regression analyses corrected for age and pre-morbid level of functioning were performed to evaluate the effect of depressive symptoms (15-item Geriatric Depression Scale, GDS), pain (Wong–Baker pain scale), cognitive functioning (Mini-mental State Examination, MMSE) and fear of falling (Modified Falls Efficacy Scale, MFES) within 2 weeks after surgery and 6 weeks later on functional recovery at 6 months. Main outcome measures were performance-based measures (up-and-go test, gait test, functional reach) and the self-report Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) questionnaire to assess the impact of the hip fracture on activities of daily living (ADL).
Results. Two hundred and ninety-one patients participated and outcome measures for 187 (64%) patients were available at 6 months. All mental health variables interfered with functional recovery. However, in the final multivariate model, cognitive functioning and fear of falling assessed 6 weeks after surgery consistently predicted functional recovery, whereas pain and depressive symptoms were no longer significant.
Conclusion. Fear of falling and cognitive functioning may be more important than pain and depression to predict functional recovery after hip fracture surgery. Rehabilitation strategies should take this into account.

Summary
Gender, age, ethnicity and class are major dimensions of social inequality in human societies. The higher prevalence of depression among women is due to a higher risk of first onset rather than differential persistence or recurrence. Depressive disorder adds to disability from physical disorder when present and is associated with greater physical decline. Depressive symptoms in older women are associated with both poor cognitive function and subsequent cognitive decline, and female gender is a risk factor for both depression and Alzheimer's disease. Mortality is increased in older patients with depressive disorders. Compared to depression, less is known about risk factors for anxiety disorders in old age, but women are more at risk than men. There is no difference between men and women in terms of antidepressant response. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are nowadays usually the first line choice. Prevention research is needed throughout the life cycle.

Subcortical hyperintensities are easily visualized areas of signal abnormality that are seen on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Characteristically they occur in the white matter of the brain and are more common in elderly people. In depression, little is known of the clinical significance of subcortical hyperintensities or their contribution to the prognosis. Fifty-eight consecutive patients with DSM-III-R depression and an age range of 65 to 85 years were prospectively collected from an old-age psychiatry service. Response to treatment was assessed with a clinical global outcome measure. A neuropsychology battery was completed on all patients after treatment. Forty-four patients completed MRI scanning. The scans were scored using a regional rating system for hyperintensities. Forty-eight percent of patients had a favorable response to treatment on the clinical global outcome scale. Poor outcome was associated with female sex (p = .07), poor physical health (p = .040), diabetes (p = .018), psychosis (p = .026), and an early age at onset of first episode of depression (p = .036). Even after adjustment for confounding effects, there were significant neuropsychological associations with the regional hyperintensities. Distribution in the periventricular area correlated with delayed recall after distraction (p = .025), and punctate lesions in the basal ganglia correlated with impaired category production (p = .020). Pontine reticular formation hyperintensities were related to impaired psychomotor speed (p = 0.04). Location in the frontal deep-white matter (p = .024), basal ganglia (p = .03), and pontine reticular formation (p = .02) was associated with a poor acute response to treatment. However, the response to treatment was not related to total cerebral white-matter hyperintensity load. A logistic regression equation included all the significant prognostic features and found four independent predictors of poor outcome: More than five punctate lesions of the basal ganglia, diabetes, lower mean arterial pressure, and hyperintensity of the pontine reticular formation significantly predicted outcome. These four factors correctly predicted 95.6% of patients with a poor outcome and 85.7% with a favorable outcome. In late-life depression, subcortical hyperintensities are common. Lesions in the cerebral white matter are predominantly associated with memory disturbance, and those in deeper infratentorial areas, with psychomotor slowing and executive deficits. Total white-matter load has no prognostic value, and although some subcortical regions are associated with poor response, individually they have little specificity. However, a combination of involvement in three areas (basal ganglia, pons, and frontal lobe) is clinically relevant and predicts outcome with great accuracy (91%). Patients with lesions in the basal ganglia and deep white matter had an especially poor response to pharmacotherapy.

Background: “Vascular depression” has recently been proposed. It is characterized by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2-weighted subcortical lesions, a late onset of first episode of depression, and reduced heritability; a cerebrovascular etiology is suggested. The validity of “vascular depression” might be strengthened if an association was found between the subcortical lesions used to define it and particular depressive symptoms. Methods: A blinded cross-sectional examination of DSM-III-R depressive symptoms (American Psychiatric Association, 1987) and MRI T2-weighted subcortical lesions in 44 patients with late-life depression. Results: Many associations were found; however, because of multiple comparisons, their significance is viewed with caution. The most robust finding was that psychomotor retardation was independently related to total white-matter score. The odds of showing psychomotor retardation was increased 1.9 times for every point increase in severity of white-matter change. Conclusion: In late-life depression the clinical expression of the depression is influenced by the pattern of MRI T2-weighted subcorticallesions. This gives some validity to the concept of an MRI-defined “vascular” subtype of late-life depression and strengthens the argument for including neuroimaging in the classification of late-life depression.

Aims and Background: The International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) aims to improve the mental health care of older people globally. With regard to depression, a number of key publications over the past decade have highlighted areas of progress and areas requiring further research. In order to help clarify what progress has been made, the author conducted a literature review of original research subsequent to three recent major reviews. Method: A literature search of four databases over the period 1998—October 2001. Publications with an abstract in English were studied to ascertain number of relevant publications; type of research methodology; topics; and where the research originated. Results: A total of 1,002 publications meeting predifined criteria were located. Fifty-nine percent were crossectional studies; less than 10% were randomized controlled studies. The most common themes were depression with comorbidity and etiology, accounting for almost half the papers, with stroke and Parkinson's disease the most frequently researched comorbid medical disorders, although interest in Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, hip fracture, and chronic lung disease appears to be increasing. There were comparatively few studies of psychological and psychosocial interventions. A quarter of the publications concerned major depressive disorder. There were striking variations in the origin of publications with two regions, North America and Northern Europe, accounting for two thirds of all publications but only 13.7% of the world's population aged 65 and over. Conclusions: Progress is being made but it might occur more rapidly and with greater scope with more international and cross-center collaboration.

This article reviews the evidence that antidepressants have improved the prognosis of geriatric depression. It examines studies carried out in the acute, continuation, and maintenance stages of treatment. Naturalistic studies carried out after the introduction of electroconvulsive therapy indicate that about one quarter of patients with major depression in later life remain symptom-free, approximately one third experience at least one relapse but with further recovery, and the remainder have residual symptoms. In about 10% of all cases, depressive symptoms remain severe and intractable. These proportions appear to have altered little since tricyclic antidepressants became available, although recent research into drug prophylaxis suggests that better outcomes may be possible. The article reviews some of the methodological problems that research workers must address. The role of newer antidepressants in prognosis is also discussed.

Background
Growing evidence suggests that there may be a subtype of depression arising in later life that is characterised by a distinct clinical presentation and an association with cerebrovascular disease. This has been termed ‘vascular depression’.
AimsTo review the evidence for associations between cardiovascular disease and depression and between cerebrovascular disease and depression, and to examine implications for clinical practice and research.
MethodThe authors reviewed the medical literature covering the past 5 years.
ResultsThere is strong evidence for an association between cardiovascular disease and depression, but this is not confined to older people. The causal pathway may be bi-directional. There is also a convergence of evidence suggesting a causal link between cerebrovascular disease and depression, especially that occurring later in life. The major focus has been on neuroradiological findings thought to be due to vascular disease, although the pathology may be heterogeneous.
ConclusionsAlthough there are gaps in the evidence there is strong support for the concept of vascular depression, characterised by reduced depression ideation, subcortical neurological dysfunction, apathy and psychomotor change. This has implications for both treatment and prevention.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a major cause of morbidity, disability and mortality in old age. The disease is characterized by shortness of breath, impaired ventilatory function and easy fatiguability. These are the most distressing and disabling symptoms of COPD, limiting exercise tolerance, interfering with basic activities of daily living and often, in turn, impairing quality of life.

The study tests the hypothesis that delusional and non-delusional depressive illnesses are distinct entities in late life. Two groups of 24 patients with late-onset depression, one with and one without delusions, were compared retrospectively. At the index admission, deluded patients were significantly more depressed, were in hospital for longer, responded poorly to antidepressants alone and required more physical treatments, especially ECT and major tranquillisers. Although illness severity was a major factor accounting for these differences, the finding that only the deluded group experienced delusional relapses suggests an underlying intrinsic susceptibility. The discharge status was similar for both groups, as were relapse rates over 48 months and the clinical course of depressive symptoms over 42–104 months. The findings are consistent with studies of younger patients which point to a distinction between these two types of depression, but not with recent work suggesting a very poor prognosis for delusional depression in late life.
