AnnotationIn a cross-sectional study - based on data collected in the context of the Amsterdam Groningen Elderly Depression (AGED) study - risk indicators for depressive symptoms (Geriatric Depression Scale, GDS) were examined in bivariate and multivariate analyses. Functional impairment, loneliness, higher education levels, a family history of depression and neuroticism are associated with depressive symptoms. The risk indicators of depression found in residential homes are similar to those in the community. (RH).
