Association of depression and gender with mortality in old age: Results from the Amsterdam Study of the Elderly (AMSTEL)
Open accessAbstract
Background: The association between depression and increased mortality risk in older persons may depend on the severity of the depressive disorder and gender. Aims: To investigate the association between major and mild depressive syndromes and excess mortality in community-living elderly men and women. Method: Depression (Geriatric Mental State AGECAT) was assessed in 4051 older persons, with a 6-year follow-up of community death registers. The mortality risk of neurotic and psychotic depression was calculated after adjustment for demographic variables, physical illness, cognitive decline and functional disabilities. Results: A total of 75% of men and 41% of women with psychotic depression had died at follow-up. Psychotic depression was associated with significant excess mortality in both men and women. Neurotic depression was associated with a 1.67-fold higher mortality risk in men only. Conclusions: In the elderly, major depressive syndromes increase the risk of death in both men and women, but mild depression increases the risk of death only in men.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
