AnnotationDepression is quite common in older members of Hong Kong Chinese society. This study examined the impact of depression on change in cognitive functioning in 260 over 70s from a longitudinal study of a representative community sample. Using multiple regression analysis, the authors found that depression at baseline measurement was negatively associated with cognitive functioning 3 years later, even after sociodemographic, physical health status, smoking status, exercise behaviour and social support variables were applied in regression models.
