| Annotation | In a community sample of 341 South Koreans aged 65+ and with scores of 24 or less on the Korean version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), previous stroke was identified as an independent risk factor of late-life depression. The association was found principally in those with better cognitive function and independent activities of daily living (ADLs). No associations were observed between measures of vascular risk - with the exception of a history of stroke - and depression. (RH). |
